Last week, we had the pleasure of taking our latest Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) innovations to IPC APEX EXPO 2025 at the Anaheim Convention Center (March 18-20), and the experience was better than we’d anticipated. From Stand 1632, we showcased how smarter inspections translate to bigger savings.
The attendance exceeded our projections, and we walked away with a solid bunch of promising leads, setting the stage for some exciting follow-ups in the weeks ahead.
Our showcased systems were the PowerSpector JSAz 550 and the VeriSpector AOI. Every enquiry we received focused on Through-Hole Technology (THT) inspection and solder paste inspection—two areas where these systems shine. The PowerSpector JSAz 550, with its upgraded chassis, enhanced motors, and selective 3D laser measurement, drew attention for its ability to handle larger PCBs without sacrificing precision. Meanwhile, the VeriSpector impressed with its pre-solder THT inspection capabilities, reinforcing its value for both automated and semi-automated lines.
Our live demos at Stand 1632 gave visitors a firsthand look at how these systems boost efficiency and quality. Attendees also appreciated the practical insights from our new ROI Calculator, which we introduced to quantify the financial upside of AOI investment. Input your production data—operator wages, PCB output, batch sizes—and see the savings stack up. It’s a tool we’re proud to offer, and it sparked some great conversations about real-world returns.
IPC APEX 2025 was a tremendous success, delivering meaningful connections and real opportunities. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to explore our AOI solutions—we’re already excited to build on these connections. For those who couldn’t make it, reach out to learn how our systems and ROI insights can optimize your processes.
