May 06, 2008 ASC International�s newly released LineMaster in-line machine uses 3D measurement technology in a production-ready positioning and fixturing system. With today�s demands for smaller and more densely populated boards, there are abundant challenges to contract manufacturers and a keen emphasis on the solder paste printing process. The LineMaster incorporates a 3D camera assembly and SVGA monitor to fully automate solder paste height and volume measurements. It relies on end user feedback and detects imbalances in the solder paste printing. It�s easy to use and provides the accuracy and repeatability required by electronic manufacturers. The LineMaster unit is capable of handling double-sided assemblies up to as large as an 18�x 22� inspection area.
ASC�s LineMaster unit is a value-packed machine with the ability to get a majority of the information for full inspection results. It is ideal for the smaller shops, its level of support is rivaled by large customers as well, and it has a price to fit any budget. �Our machines are the most economical in-line solutions sold on the market today.� said Steve Arneson, National Business Manager for ASC. It has flexible data output, runs on the all-familiar Windows XP user interface, and comes with a one-year, end-user warranty and technical support.
Solder paste inspection allows you to more closely control your solder paste printing. Results lead to an increase in productivity and profitability. With close to 1,000 (combined) machines sold worldwide ASC is one of the leading manufacturers of AOI systems. For more information please visit http://www.ascinternational.com
