A configuration of a number of AOI tools located at different inspection stages along the SMT production line has, by its nature, the ability to provide a faster and closer response to possible process related fault occurrences. Comparing with today

Chris, Some ramblings- Your choice depends on factors like which defects you're looking for, bugdet, quality inspection philosophy, high or low mix environment, sample sizes or 100%, and so on. Are you going to test 100% of the product coming off t

Hello Phil, We did use an Oracle relational database with an Access front end to input and query data from the system for reports. We did not perform SPC with the Oracle dB. As the whole data collection process was completely customized, we hadn't im

I will review some of the advantages/disadvantages of AOI vs. X-Ray one by one according to the main differences that you may find between them. * AOI uses optics that can "see" only visible elements. X-Ray can "see" hidden elements. There is a ve

Yes, sure. In fact in some applications ICT is coming back. Mainly due to the fact that more and more SMT discrete components have no markings, so AOI cannot tell you if you have the correct value on the PCB. Fixed pin or flying probe ICT is a valuab

First, we expect that your equipment supplier would help you with this. Then again with lots of used equipment flying around, some of the basic stuff often gets pushed to the back of the bus. Second, here is a clip and paste on the basics of equipm

Yes, your observation is accurate. Different process steps have different inspection requirements which necessitates employing different imaging technology to ensure the best performance (detection and throughput). Orbotech, for example, offers both

What is the general consensus on automated solder paste inspection? In a previous life, when we implemented AOI equipment, we implemented it at the end of the SMT line; our reasoning was that our screen printers had adequate repeatability for our pr

The company that I work for is a high-mix, mid-high volume manufacturer, and we also chose the YesTech AOI equipment. We currently have a YTV-2050 (the conveyorized machine with 5 cameras), and also the YTV-1000 (table-top version of the YTV-2050, wi

I really appreciate your advice. Dave did not offer much in the way of real advice, his response was mostly diatribe. I am looking at visual inspection at this time as AOI might be overkill in my case. I believe that it, in combination with the machi
