In-line AOI system

12 May 2010 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

At the recently held APEX 2010 show, Mirtec exhibited the latest in its MV-7 series – the MV-7xi in-line AOI system. Fully configured, this system provides one top-down view, five megapixel camera, with a precision 9,8 micron telecentric compound lens and four five megapixel side-view cameras. The patented ‘quad angle lighting system’ provides four independently programmable zones for optimal illumination of inspection areas.

The MV-7xi on display featured a 2D camera barcode reader, a high-throughput, three-stage PCB conveyor and a PCB under board support system, as well as Mirtec’s Intelli-Scan laser system. This system provides the ‘third dimension’ in inspection capability – the ability to precisely measure the Z-height of a given region of interest. This technology offers lifted lead detection for gull wing devices, four-point height measurement capability for co-planarity testing of BGA and CSP devices, and enhanced solder paste measurement capability. A comprehensive package type library provides simple ‘drag-and-drop’ component programming. The automatic teaching tool (ATT) software provides automatic teaching of component locations using CAD centroid data.
