Thomas, We evaluated several AOI machines and narrowed the field to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an opportunity to work with both of these machines on our production floor. In our experience, the MIRTEC machine simply outperformed the competitive

I believe Mitutoyo makes a CMM for that application. They were soliciting the idea at APEX show a couple of years ago. I believe they were going to develop some software to do just what you are asking for (following the IPC-9850 format). A CMM, ho

If I remember correctly since I cannot find my copy of IPC 600, I believe that the 20% reduction applies to "defects" and not the total etch process. By the way what is being used to measure down to .0005"? For this measurement to be correct it wou

Hello Barry, I have not had any experience with the Testronics bench top system. I did, however, evaluate MIRTEC, MVP, N-Spec and YESTech. In my opinion, the MVP was simply too complicated and took too long to program for a low volume high mix man

Hello bpeach, I recently purchased AOI system for our company. We are a low to mid range manufacturer as well. I looked at several different vendors around the price range that you are looking at incuding; Mirtech, Viscom, N-Spec, Omron, VI Tech, Or

The causes of voids are extremely paste dependent. I did a literature search a couple years ago and the papers all disagreed with each other - one would say turn knob "A" to the right and the next would tell you to turn it to the left. I did my own

Hello Federico, I know what you are going through. A few years back, I was faced with having to purchase AOI equipment for my business. My selection team and I looked at several different manufacturers including MVP (too difficult to program!). We

First, it's GREAT to have a long-term lurker posting here on SMTnet. Maybe this will encourage other lurkers to join us. [We'll try to be on our best behavior.] Second, while Stephen Pence's explanation of 'equivalence factors' is accurate, your con

Steve In response to your comments: SP: I'm not sure I completely agree with you regarding the smoke screen factor. I have found many times confusion around bulk ionic testing comes down to people not understanding your point about it not being a "

Hello Bryan, My recommendation is MIRTEC by far. We checked out several machines and narrowed the selection down to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an opportunity to work with both of these machines on our production floor. We found that the MIRTE
