AOI - Optical Inspection with Advanced Line

SMD Inspection of PCBs with Advanced Line

The inline AOI system for flexible integration opportunities.

The Advanced Line AOI system’s decisive advantage is the multitude of opportunities for inline integration into the production process. The system can be utilized at each position in a PCB production line. No requirements or specifications will remain unfulfilled as your boards can be transported in each direction.

The Advanced Line can be applied inline and also as a stand-alone system.

Additionally, the system captivates through opportunities with camera and illumination configurations. The sum of all components and parameters incl. high resolution and inspection safety guarantees the highest quality for your mounted PCBs.

Challenge

high throughput amd frequently changing product groups
SMD connection through technology next to special press-fit technology
difficult visibility of solder joints of QFN components and attachments

Solution

high cycle rate due to inline capability
angled-view inspection with 360° fault detection
easy operation and fast inspection program creation with PILOT AOI software

maximum fault detection
unique illumination from infrared to ultraviolet
patented 360° inspection in 1° steps at constant resolution and definition

rotatory angled-view inspection
laser height measurement
add-on camera with microscopic resolution

individual integration solutions (transport direction, inline verification station, usage of serial numbers)
extensive data interfaces to quality management and traceability systems (ZVEI standard, iTAC, customised)

outstanding ease of use with the system software PILOT AOI
highest fault detection through different inspection methods as well as individually expandable inspection functions and library entries
maximum inspection reliability through verification of the inspection depth and monitoring of defect detection

global data management and MES connection as well as central verification across several production lines with
