I've been the AOI programmer for around 5 years now. The equipment I use is the Orbotech VT-9300 & VT-9500 systems. The programming isn't too difficult, mostly Grey-scale shadow measurement through application algorithms. Three levels of lighting an

Excellent Web OEE calculator... For Ideal Cycle time we use to take Programming Cycle Time but in this calculator it seems you have taken Equipment Rated CPH. For a Given Board & the placement locations the rated CPH is not at all attainable because
