Hello Saaitk, I was recently tasked with selecting an AOI system for our company. We are a low to medium manufacturer as well. I looked at several different vendors and narrowed the field to Mirtec and Yestech. I found that the programming was v

We are currently using Mirtec M3L inspection systems. Although they have served us well, we are looking for an upgrade. We are going in line and maybe getting away from camera based to algorithm based which I have been told are much more accurate. Th

We agree Evtimov that the best way to evaluate AOI is to test known good and known bad boards on a machine, preferably in your own plant. Be aware that I can run all of your boards and assure you that there will not a single false call. It's just th

Typically on my company's Mirtec systems, any anomalies, such as cracks, chips, etc. on chip capacitors and chip resistors are going to be detected with just a basic mounting inspector. We have a full image of the part (solder joint not included) as

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

Hello Scott, Simply program the side angle cameras as you would for any other device using the downward camera. For instance, solder joint inspection for a PLCC would utilize a basis window, bridge inspection algorithm and individual solder joint i

In my experience, the best way to do a lifted lead inspection on a QFP is by laser height measurement. It is very difficult to consistently catch a lifted lead with only a top down camera. As you say, too many false calls, and still some escapes.

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

Good Day Michelle, If you are looking for a solid AOI system that is simple to program and extremely accurate my recommendation is MIRTEC by far. We checked out several machines and narrowed the selection down to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an

Hi, I have MV-7xi from Mirtec. Mine is equipped with the best camera they have as well as telecentric lens which give you very good resolution and view. Machine handles very good most of the defects in SMT. However, when we go to the solder joints i
