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).
