The majority of PCBs produced today use Surface Mount Technology SMT whereby the components are mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB. SMT, adopted in the 1980s, has massively reduced the costs of manufacturing because it allows for far greater levels of automation. SMT components are much smaller and hence a much higher number can be fitted onto the board allowing for much denser, smaller PCBs with a higher performance. Does that mean that… Read the full article…
1. A must have to allow for PCB warpage if the AOI machine has angular cameras The center of the field of view (FoV) of angular cameras are set to be on the center of the FoV of the main camera. The optimal focal point of the main camera lens is on the printed circuit board (PCB) surface. A main camera lens typically has a focal depth of a few millimetres, a height range in… Read the full article…
