AOI tools include Advisor process control software, which provides a central data hub for storing SMT quality data. Reportedly gives a broad view of quality relevant metrics for the entire line from a single source. Said to provide highly accurate inspection results. Automatically links post-reflow AOI inspection data with paste AOI inspection data and paste inspection results with paste printer machine events. Includes an alarm engine that alerts when processes are out of operator-defined parameters. Can be integrated with existing manufacturing execution or shopfloor system.
The APR-5000-DZ array package rework system is said to enable fast ramp and tighter delta temperature control for Pb-free rework without affecting adjacent and underside components. Expands capability to rework odd-form and temperature-sensitive components. Reportedly delivers highly targeted and controlled heating for rework of high thermal demand boards, including multilayer assemblies up to 12" x 12". Has a dual convection bottom-side heater that consists of large and small area heaters. Can rework components with 0.4 mm pitch. Enables rework of components where vacuum pickup is not an option. Strobe light facilitates viewing the dual image of both component and board. Is for small, high-density boards used in mobile phones, handheld instruments and personal media players.
The X8060 NDT universal x-ray and CT inspection system performs nondestructive test on larger, heavier objects. Is for automotive, aviation and aerospace, medical technology, turbine construction, machine tool manufacturing, materials science, ceramic and synthetics production, electronics, sensor technology and bonding technology. An integrated, computed tomography permits 3-D reconstruction of test objects up to 66 lbs. Has microfocus x-ray tube with a max. acceleration voltage of 250 kV. Capable of inspecting hidden solder joints in electronics assemblies using high magnification and angled radiation. Modular precision manipulator has up to eight CNC-capable axes.
