In the past year I was responsible for developing and leading a Team focused on AOI, Evaluation, Justification, and with a full ROI required, supporting a HMLV manufacturing environment. If you have in these economic times the additional resources t

Thanks for the quick reply :) We've used some classic feeders that we repurposed ourselves by switching the original optical barriers (index wheel and motor wheel) with twice the resolution. It gives okayish results, not great, but the 0402 is alig

I have been doing this since day one of getting the AOI. It just seemed logical. I don't know what type of AOI you have, but what I have found works best is to use solder inspection to catch parts that are loaded into a no-load location. Move the

Phil, as a rule of thumb, measuring machines (such as Zeiss, View and others) should be ten times more accurate, than the placement machine, in order to provide measuring values (CPK). AOI are meant to detect missing and wrong components, but not mea

To prevent BGA (Ball Grid Array) issues related to SMT (Surface Mount Technology) solder resist when fabricating a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), you can follow these guidelines: Design considerations: Ensure proper spacing between BGA pads

First we have to look in to the current situiation of the SMT line.Is the pick and place machine very old and can not perform consistently. Is the board to be inspected is very dense and have lots of connectors and fine pitch comp.with lots of 0402 c

When it comes to F1 AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) machines, there are various models and manufacturers available on the market. While specific features and capabilities may vary between different F1 models, here are some general factors to consi

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

Brian, We have the Mirtec Table Top. It is very good at detecting the component and orientation. It is however only as good as we program it to be. We have seen some limitations in respect to solder connections. I have not found it to be 100% re
