CyberOptics to Showcase 3D AOI Systems at IPC APEX EXPO 2017
January 9, 2017 | CyberOptics CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

CyberOptics Corporation will exhibit at the 2017 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take February 14-16, 2017 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. The MRS-enabled SQ3000 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system, deemed best-in-class, will be on display for live demonstrations, along with the MRS-enabled CyberGage 360 and the QX250i. CyberOptics will be in Booth 2809.
The SQ3000 3D AOI system maximizes ROI and line utilization with multi-view 3D sensors that capture and transmit data simultaneously, and in parallel, accelerating 3D inspection speed versus alternate technology. The proprietary Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) technology combined with the highly sophisticated 3D fusing algorithms offers microscopic image quality at production speeds.
The CyberGage360 presents an unprecedented combination of speed, accuracy and one-button simplicity for non-contact automated 3D scanning inspection. The system dramatically speeds up quality assurance of in-process inspection and/or incoming/outgoing parts inspection; lowers cost of quality and speeds up product time-to-market. Designed for use in general purpose metrology, the CyberGage360 has a range of potential industrial applications from automotive to aerospace to consumer electronics, where high accuracy and high speed throughput are important.
The QX250i simultaneous double-sided AOI system offers fast, flexible and high performance inspection for all applications, and is ideally suited for pre-reflow and selective solder inspection. The top and bottom high-resolution Strobed Inspection Modules (SIMs) with enhanced illumination provide a single platform for the inspection and defect review process that shortens the production line and drives approximately 50 percent productivity improvement.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
