Spectral Response invests in Orpro Vision’s AOI solutions

Spectral Response, located in Duluth, Georgia, has invested once more in Orpro Vision’s Automated Optical Inspection solutions. The American company was founded in 1987 and, since then, has focused its activity in the high-speed production ranging from electronics to medical equipment.

Orpro Vision, that recently acquired the European and American AOI business from Orbotech, supplies process control solutions for the electronics assembly industry in Europe, Africa, Israel and the Americas.

Spectral Response’s already installed Vantage system, a cost-effective post-reflow AOI solution that delivers excellent results for improving the product quality and boosting the productivity, had been acquired in 2008. This year the company has decided to add paste inspection capability; they confirmed their choice based on the support they received from the service team and on the performance of the system.

Symbion P36 Post Paste System provides superior volumetric solder paste inspection and measurement, enabling real-time control of the solder paste process. The systems utilizes an optimized scanning technique with two scan lines operating simultaneously via independent optical channels for 3-D and 2-D image acquisition. This enables 100% full board coverage and precise measurements of solder paste deposit volume, area, shape, and location.

David Shockley, Director of Operations at Spectral Response, declares: “We are very satisfied with the support and professionalism of Orpro Vision’s team. Both the Vantage and the new Symbion P36 Paste Inspection system fulfill perfectly our production needs and provide high yields.”
