VT-RNSII inline post-reflow inspection system uses faster shutter speeds and improved image processing to perform inspections 20% faster than the original VT-RNS series. Permits faster throughput and more detailed inspections of densely populated boards within the same cycle time. Can provide 3-D information from a 2-D image. 3-CCD camera enhances solder shape recognition accuracy; is said to obtain 3x the information of a 1-CCD camera. Resolution is up to 10 μm; can inspect components as small as 01005 and 0.012” pitch. Also comes in benchtop model (VT-RNSII-ptH).

Forced verification for screen printers includes a sensor to detect when the cover of the machine is open. Triggers a request to validate the machine setup, including solder paste, stencil, squeegees, etc. Includes a cycle stop controller to physically stop the machine until all the required elements have been validated.
SMT Machine CAMX adapters are used to gather real-time material and process data from production equipment. Data can be shared via an IPC standard CAMX broker with Cogiscan TTC applications or ERP, MES and internal traceability systems. Support placement machines from Fuji, Juki, Mydata, Universal Instruments and Siplace, as well as screen printers from DEK, reflow ovens from VI Technology, AOI from Cyberoptics, Koh Young and Viscom, x-ray from Teradyne , ICT from Teradyne, and the SMD storage unit from Essemtec and Mydata.
RFID smart feeder upgrade kit for Samsung placement machines enables closed-loop setup validation and traceability for existing machines and feeders. Reduces machine downtime during changeovers and replenishment and reduces risk of human errors.
