Double-Sided AOI for SMD and Pin-In-Paste in one System

02 May 2013 - GOEPEL electronic upgraded its AOI system OptiCon TurboLine, widely used for PCB top and bottom inspection in production for automotive products. An additional integrated camera module for PCB bottom side enables inspection of pin-in-paste (THR) solder joints together with the SMD inspection in one system.

Hence, PCB turning or the utilization of two separate AOI systems is no longer necessary. The unique multispectral illumination and program optimization by means of statistically recorded inspection data guarantee maximum fault detection.

The system captivates through a high inspection speed due to identical fields-of-view for orthogonal and angled-view cameras. PCB transport times are reduced by utilizing a three-segment-band for parallel loading and reloading during the inspection process.

The camera modules for angled-view inspection provide excellent image quality for a large field-of-view. The angled-view module’s freely selectable rotation angle allows for component inspection at any angle. Additionally, these cameras enable coloured image capturing for increased fault detection as well as visualization tasks.

The software package OptiCon PILOT executes test program generation and assembly inspection tasks. For efficient system utilization, repair station software, statistical fault evaluation and offline programming software are available. Flexible data interfaces provide the opportunity to communicate with external MES and quality management systems.
