Start with a definition of what you expect the AOI to achieve at each station. Will your in-line machine be post print? Place (pre-reflow) or post reflow? Rather than buy one very expensive machine to put at the end of the line, maybe a couple of

Your process makes a bigger difference. What I have seen is ICT done early is better than AOI done more than a half shift later, and AOI done early is better than ICT done more than a half shift later. For high mix/low volume, I would go with AOI whi

In-Circuit Test is the best method for ensuring solder joint connections. It is a much more reliable than AOI. An ICT machine can ensure solder connections are made for array package devices such as BGA, PGA, etc... AOI is best for component I.D.- is

Can anyone provide for me their prospective regarding AOI vs. electrical test? Which is better for generating REAL benefit in providing customer with a marked increase in defect free product? Thanks for any input you can provide.

In circuit testing is expensive up front because of the fixture cost but the tests are fast. AOI programs can be develpoed in less than a day but take longer to run. If you have good test coverage, in circuit would be a better choice in my opinion-if

I have used all of test and inspection techniques available out there: AOI, AXI, Flying Probe, ICT, and FCT. The reality is that they all have a place in manufacturing based on the type and complexity of product you bild, the industry it is intended

I am looking for a straight forward Gage R&R test I can use when evaluating AOI equipment. Anyone carried out similar? Thanks in Advance

For the ovens you run the profiler and you compare graphs. For the AOI you should run these golden boards(boards that you keep for AOI test - might have intentionally implemented defects) once in a while and make sure you are getting the same results

In my experience AOI's are good for checking machine setup I.E. first piece inspection. After that the only things they will typically catch are wrong parts, reversed parts, missing parts, and tombstones. I would however suggest getting an AOI with a

Guys, What are the best effective tests methods to show capability and repeatability of reflow ovens and AOI machines?
