PNC Inc. Augments Assembly Capability with CyberOptics Solder Paste Inspection
March 6, 2017 | PNC Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
PNC Inc. recently purchased an SE500-II solder paste inspection machine from CyberOptics.
In addition to other recent purchases, this machine completes another fully-equipped, top-of-the-line assembly line for the company.
The SE500-II can scan 30% faster than its predecessors thanks to its unique all-in-one scan sequence. This allows it to inspect PC boards at a rate faster than 80 cm2/second. Adding to its efficiency is the streamlined and intuitive V5 series software. The multi-touch interface allows the operator to access any number of the various essential applications in seconds.
The SE500-II’s paste height range is 2−20 mils. The parameters it can measure include height, area, volume and registration. There are also other useful features such as bridge detection and defect review. It can accept boards from 2 x 2 in. to 20 x 20 in. and from 0.3 to 5.0 mm in thickness.
“This machine fulfills a request we had received a few times from our customers,” President Sam Sangani explained. “It helps us have even better quality specifications and build boards exactly to the specifications of our customers.”
