A500 fully automatic SPI features x-y motion for automatic, seamless scanning of PCB panels up to 300 x 300mm in size. Z-axis motion features auto-focus of the sensor and board warp compensation. uses advanced white light Moiré interferometry to build height data for every pixel in the view. Accepts Gerber 274-X files. Automatically finds fiducials, identifies pads and files height and volume data for each pad. Color coded pads on the Gerber data show pads outside the thresholds in real-time. Is plug-and-play with any Windows 7 desktop or laptop with a Gigabit Ethernet port.
