The 5K Series, a large board solution, offers flexibility for wider board applications and benefits from all the latest Vi TECHNOLOGY® innovations, including Selective 3D AOI technology for accurate tilt and coplanarity measurement of ICs, connectors and passive components if 3D inspection of specific parameters is required. The innovative and modular concept of the 5K Series allows companies requiring entry-level or mid-range AOI systems to upgrade their equipment on-site to meet future requirements. Machines are equipped with PERFORM or PREMIUM P-Series heads, to offer greater versatility. The series has been designed with best-in-class hardware and software technologies to provide accuracy and repeatability and a short cycle time.
Vi TECHNOLOGY® Selective 3D technology paves the way to 3-dimensional AOI. This feature allows detection of coplanarity defects on surface mount components and makes multiple camera systems unnecessary. This option enables accurate, repeatable tilt and coplanarity measurements on ICs, connectors and passive components during PCBA inspection, without affecting cycle time. It is used for all applications, but mainly expensive, high-reliability end-user applications such as the Medical, Automotive, Industrial and Infrastructure market segments, where defects must be identified. The problem is that many of these defects remain invisible to electrical tests and require additional and costly process steps to eliminate them from the production line. Having this capability within the AOI enables significant savings and a fast return on investment. The Selective 3D AOI technology is available on new machines or as an upgrade for 3K and 5K platforms already in use.
Vision2009, the new integrated software suite, goes one step further in simplifying programming.
The new intuitive “Wizards” guide users through each step of program creation and optimization, reducing the need for advanced training. Vision2009 is based on Vi TECHNOLOGY’s modular software platform and accommodates all AOI application options including: 2D Post Print, Mixed Mode, Pre Reflow, Post Reflow, Post Wave, backplane inspection, OCV and OCR. The software suite also encompasses full offline programming capability, an optimization tool, centralized common database, cross platform program transportability, review/repair station, data mining system…
