October 21, 2019 | MirtecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MIRTEC has installed one of its award-winning MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI systems at Universal Instruments’ Advanced Process Lab (APL) in Conklin, New York. Universal’s APL offers comprehensive research, analytical and advanced assembly services that enable manufacturers to realize rapid product introduction, maximize yield and optimize reliability.
Brian D’Amico, president of MIRTEC’s North American Sales and Service Division stated, “We are very excited to partner with Universal Instruments’ in placing one of our technologically advanced 3D AOI systems in their Advanced Process Lab. Our intention is to collaborate on new inspection solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry, combining the strengths of MIRTEC’s 3D inspection technology with the expertise and process knowledge of UIC’s personnel. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship moving forward.”
MIRTEC’s industry acclaimed MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI machines are configured with the company’s exclusive OMNI-VISION® 3D inspection system which combines 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress camera technology with MIRTEC’s revolutionary Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré 3D system. This proprietary system yields precise height measurement data used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as 3D solder fillet inspection post reflow.
Fully configured the MV-6 OMNI systems feature four 10 mega pixel side-view cameras in addition to the 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Top-Down Camera as well as an 8-phase COLOR lighting system to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
