Conformal coating inspection system

EMP 2021 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Viscom’s proven S3088 CCI inspection system ensures high-precision conformal coating inspection of printed circuit boards. The system quickly and reliably detects typical defects such as cracks, coating voids, smearing and splashing. Layer thickness and wet coating can also be analysed.

With a maximum orthogonal resolution of up to 15 μm/pixel and an angled view resolution of up to 17,5 μm/pixel, the S3088 CCI inspects all typical defects with 100% reliability, and thanks to the standard four, or optional eight, side views, inspection results are free of shadowing.

Special high-powered LEDs are used for the inspection of poorly reflecting coatings, such as conformal coatings which are very thin or coatings which contain silicone. The system also provides layer thickness measurement (3D spot measurement), nanolayer inspection and wet coating inspection.

The camera system works with the vVision or EasyPro inspection software, thus offering the same user interface as other AOI systems in the proven S3088 family.

Understanding solder dross: causes and control strategies
Truth Electronic Manufacturing Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.
