Benchtop AOI Offers Low-cost Solution
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
The B2 Benchtop automated inspection system (AOI) for post-reflow PCBs from YESTech offers faster throughput and improved board handling. While visiting the company's San Clemente, Calif., facility, Don Miller, YESTech president, explained how the company's adaptive and flexible approach to inspection has disrupted the North American market. "We use commercially available technology on the market instead of re-inventing the wheel," stated Miller. This allows YESTech to offer more for less and pass the savings on to their customers.
The B2 is said to improve inspection speed and fusion lighting to provide high-defect coverage. It features large-board handling in a compact machine, and full software/board setup compatibility with the company's inline F1 series. Image processing technology within the inspection system integrates several techniques, including color, normalized correlation, and rule-based algorithms for full inspection coverage. Visit YESTech at Booth 2178 for a demonstration.
