About $60K for a good bench-top unit and $120K for a good in-line. AOI is justified if you are spending a lot of time ($$) visually inspecting your boards. AOI machine is faster and more reliable than a human for this task. Plus, visual inspectors d

Hi Thomas, AOI Systems provides very affordable bench top and inline AOI systems for both pre and post reflow. Many customers are purchasing these units for pre-reflow inspection due to the ease of programming and access for pre-reflow adjustments. A

Hi, To maximize efficiency of the use of AOI machine inline, our customers perform statistical analyzes. Until few month ago, this analysis was done manually. These days, we have been implemented full working project which performs analysis of AOI m

Hello All, I am currently conducting machine evaluations in order to choose the right machinery for a High-Mix Low-Volume SMT line. I am looking for any kind of information/evaluation on PnP machines as well as AOIs. In terms of high-flexibility P

It depends how you value things. I know lots of companies just look at equipment costs, but if you include development time, you may find it very expensive: and it may not work anyway. Generally you can by a tru AOI Sanning system for about �35K and

We use AOI in-line on most our SMT lines, and still getting them for the rest our lines. It has cut down on Inspection Time considerablly, justifing the cost. They do take a trained technician to program and that is a little time consuming, but worth

Hi Folks, I am trying to find a US Rep for SAKI AOI machines (specifically, BF942) It's an inline AOI made in Japan and efforts to contact the company in Japan have been unsuccessful. Additionally, any head to head comparisons between this machine a

we are using MVP's desktop, it uses the same software as the inline machine and is great at finding faults, we place down to 16thou pitch and 0402 and if it's set up properly it won't miss a thing, but i agree it's difficult to program. but then you

I work with this ESV-304 inline machine. We had a lot of problem with software (library) but now we know enough bugs to be able to create new parts without problem. Last week I went to a company that use a Yestech and for sure it's nothing compare to

Hello! I'm interested if anyone did any comparisions now days betwen several AOI types for inline inspection of populated SMT and THT PCB's. I'm mostly interested in multicamera systems ( MIRTEC, LANDREX, ORBOTECH, VISCOM....). I have checked few of
