We are also looking for AOI machines, pre- and post-reflow. We already tried one machine from the UK (I don't remember the name, I perfer to forget we ever had it) and they told is it would do everything we wanted. Maybe so, but not well enough. It s

It will in a limited fashion. It is a scanner and when using it for solder or lead inspection you will probably get many false calls, Operators tend to fall asleep clicking "accept" all the time. Don't get me wrong, we run one of these systems and it

Interesting, the scanner based FAI systems seen more than capable of reading text from what I've seen. I saw a demo of an ALeader AOI the other day @ WNIE and that certainly identifed test on resistors, but thinking back I don't know if it was readin

Our shop builds lowere qty (2-40 pcs) high complexity electronics. When we get in to bd counts greater than 10 pcs with a high number of placements (3-4K) missings and polarity are issues that bite us. We have looked at different simpler scanner type

| I'm looking into vision inspection equipment to automatically inspect SMD placement and solder joint quality. Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any commonly used equipment? Do other manufacturers use vision systems at their inspecti

As I was explaining in my thread, the things that you have to look for when buying an AOI is the false calls rate (which you described perfectly) vis a vis the money and time you want to spend. We bought our machine after that we evaluated some. As y

| Our first article inspection after machine placement can take several hours depending on the complexity of the board. The operator visually checks the board against the drawing and bill of material. I'd be interested to hear if there are any other

They visited our factory once bringing the desktop variant with them quite a while ago (~8 years perhaps when they were still called something else). At the time it was an FAI machine first and foremost with some "AOI like" features that perhaps o

Omron is probably worst choice for AOI unless you have long series. Requires too much debug and there is always compromise between setting sharp criterias and get lot of fake errors or setting lose criterias and get boards with defects to pass OK. Y
