What are the major challenges today in inspection in the electronics manufacturing industry?

The major challenge for Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) in today’s industry is one of protocol, improved track and trace and data logging for all the products coming in/ going out, including products which to date have rarely been inspected, like those still using thru hole components. Pressure for increased inspection and traceability information comes from OEMs, wanting to protect their brand. AOI of course helps to reduce faults creeping through on the production line and…

3D Measurement & 3D AOI

3D measurement is the latest development trend in assembled PCB inspection. It’s creating quite a stir and it does indeed offer many advantages in terms of improved accuracy & stability of inspection results. Having quantitative data gives much tighter control than “classic” AOI and is a big step forward in improving the quality assurance and process control of assembled PCBs. Unfortunately, the term ‘Full 3D’ is often used inaccurately. Full 3D implies that the height…
