CyberOptics redefines inspection speed with the SE500 — a new 100 percent 3-D solder paste inspection system. This system has the ability to inspect the most demanding assemblies with a >80 cm2/second inspection speed that does not compromise measurement accuracy and repeatability.
Building on CyberOptics’ reputation as the provider of solder paste inspection systems with industry-leading volume accuracy, the SE500 can inspect pad sizes down to 01005 component size (150 x 150 µm) while keeping up with ever-increasing line speeds.
The SE500 product line has two models that accommodate different panel sizes. The SE500 features a conveyor that can transport panels from 50 x 50 mm (2 x 2 in.) up to 510 x 510 mm (20 x 20 in.) The SE500X can transport panels from 100 x 100 mm (4 x 4 in.) up to 810 x 610 mm (32 x 24 in.).
Standard features for both models include: automatic conveyor width adjustment, mechanical board stop, 1- and 2-D multiple barcode read using the sensor, and Process Tracker™ SPC charts with alarm capability in the Operator User Interface. Additionally, the SE500 has enhanced warp compensation for flexible circuits, the ability to handle odd-shaped pads, and an XML file format output for easy integration to shop floor control systems. The SE500 also can run program files originally created for the SE 300 Ultra.
"CyberOptics’ recent relocation of our Systems Business to Singapore allows faster response times, a focused team on our end-use Systems Business, and lowered cost of goods and engineering. All of this, along with our proven track record, has allowed CyberOptics to extend its leadership in providing high value-added inspection products. We strongly believe that the SE500 will reposition CyberOptics as the leader in 3D Solder Paste Inspection, due to its superior performance," said Dennis Rutherford, VP Global Sales and Marketing. “Our efforts in 2010 will focus on the introduction of several new SPI and AOI products, allowing us to tier our product lines, as well as drastically improving the ease of use of our products.”
Premiering in 2005, the Global Technology Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
