8 Advantages of First Article Inspection Machine

In PCB assembly line, the smt first article inspection process is a critical important step.

What is first article inspection for PCB?

Beginning of the SMT production line or changed, the first product to be processed is called the first article. A series of inspection on the first PCB Board produced is called SMT first article inspection. The inspection including measuring ( resistance, capacitance, inductance) component values, confirming component position, component polarity, component orientation, component presence or absence etc. )

The SMT first article inspection system in PCBA manufacturer is an effective measure to detect the problem as early as possible and prevent the occurrence of unqualified products in batch. Can check the placement machine program error (position, direction, polarity, more pieces, less pieces), FEEDER station installation error, material error and a series of errors.

First article inspection procedure：

1. Import BOM

Review BOM and automatically obtain component span

2. Read in the original coordinates

Import original CAD data, combine with BOM, automatically generate the first program.

3.Automatic testing of LCR components

Fully automatic test of LCR components, self-determining test results.

4. Automatically identify non-LCR

Visual automatic comparison of screen printing and polarity, automatic identification of blank components.

5. Output test report

One key to generate a detailed test report, upload it to MES.

What are the Advantages of using First Article Inspection Machine?

1.Save Labor

2. Improve inspection efficiency

3. Quality Guarantee

4. Automatic judgment system

5. Accurate and efficient

6. Traceability

7. Inspection Report

8. MES system: Interconnects with MES system

I.C.T-FAI86M is a self-developed and produced flying probe first article inspection machine that uses a group of flying probes to automatically change the span and automatically test LCR components.
