Marantz Business Electronics is launching its advanced M22XDL-650 benchtop Automated Optical Inspection system at this year’s SMT Nuremberg exhibition, being held in Germany. Forming part of a comprehensive display of AOI expertise, Marantz’ breakthrough new machine is equipped to handle boards of up to 650 x 550 mm.
Boasting an inspection capability of 100 000 components per hour, the M22XDL-650 supports full PCB inspection, including SMT and THT components, reflow and wave solder joints, and solder paste. The innovative AOI system is powered by an Intel Pro Mac control system, equipping it to deliver full colour imaging graphics. Having recently been chosen by electronics assembly specialist Elect High-Tech Electronics in the Netherlands, the M22XDL-650 is already gaining recognition for its ease of programming and usability advantage, says Marantz.
The new 22XDL generation introduces an innovative new lighting concept, with three pulse width modulated LED light sources and up to six different lighting combinations enhancing operator control for exceptional inspection accuracy. This is further enhanced by Rep 22X Statistics and Repair Desk Software, also being showcased by Marantz at SMT Nuremberg.
Actively collecting inspection data from any 22X AOI machine in the network, the software's advanced functionality can be applied to PCBs individually for repair purposes or collectively to generate process statistics and analysis, maximising operator visibility and knowledge throughout the entire inspection process.
