February 15, 2013. Nordson YESTECH announced it will feature the new high-speed FX SL AOI inspection system for populated printed circuit boards at IPC APEX EXPO. In addition, the company will conduct live demonstrations of its complete line of AOI and AXI inspection systems.
Nordson YESTECH’s FX SL AOI offers accelerated throughput at over twice the inspection speed of previous generation systems without compromising defect coverage or low false failure rates. Significant speed gains are realized at all currently available system magnifications of 8, 12, and 25 microns/pixel. The FX SL AOI utilizes a flexible and comprehensive set of inspection tools such as angled cameras, a 3-D height sensor, Fusion Lighting, full color digital image processing technology, and both image-based and rule-based algorithms.
Programming is also fast and easy, with operators typically taking less than one hour to create a complete inspection program, including solder inspection. The FX SL AOI is equally suited for high-volume and high-mix manufacturing environments, providing fast throughput and high resolution, and it is capable of inspecting 01005 components. The system utilizes a standard package library to simplify training and insure program portability across manufacturing lines.
The FX SL saves inspection time, delivering a complete, high-speed automated inspection of solder and lead defects, component presence and position, and polarity. It features capture on the fly technology and performs 5-megapixel color imaging. It includes one top-down and four side angle cameras.
Configurable for all line positions, the FX SL is equally suitable for paste, pre/post-reflow, and final-assembly inspection. Off-line programming maximizes machine utilization, and real-time SPC monitoring provides a valuable yield enhancement solution.
“We are very pleased to once again be exhibiting our latest inspection solutions at APEX 2013,” said Don Miller, Nordson YESTECH president. “APEX is the ideal opportunity to meet with our valued customers and demonstrate YESTECH’s latest advancements in AOI.” APEX is scheduled for February 19-21 in San Diego.
