Libra Industries Enhances SPI Capabilities
March 27, 2017 | Libra IndustriesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Libra Industries, a privately held electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, has completed the installation of a third Omron CKD VP5200-V Solder Paste Inspection system at its Mentor facility. The company also runs one Omron SPI system at its Dallas facility.
The VP-V series is specially designed to achieve a higher speed of inspection to meet the needs of high-speed production lines, such as Libra Industries’. With inline detection, mounting faults at the initial stage, which make up 70 percent of the total, can be detected early on. The VP5200-V provides Libra Industries with high accuracy and repeatability to support the inspection of ultra-fine Pads.
With the Omron VP-V series SPI systems, Libra Industries benefits from industry-leading speeds of 9,400mm2/sec. The system’s repeatability of height inspection is within 1µm at 3σ (height standard jig), and the repeatability of volume inspection is within two percent at 3σ (CKD's sample PCB).
