The scanner-based FA-Inspector optical inspection system uses a high-res scanner and computer-based image processor to provide image acquisition, fault identification and SPC reporting. Incorporates proprietary optics, custom illumination and AOI Software. Board handling is said to be up to 19" x 24" with area of inspection of 11" x 16" in a single scan. Defect coverage includes SMT and PTH parts down to 0402, part presence/absence verification, part polarity and pin #1 orientation, part position and skew errors, laser marking, wrong part and device differences. Two modes of operation: AOI and Comparator.
