Vi TECHNOLOGY Combines 3D Inspection with SIGMA Link for Smart Factories
August 22, 2017 | Vi TECHNOLOGYEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Vi TECHNOLOGY will display its 5K3D AOI coupled with the PI Series 3D SPI and SIGMA Link to create a complete inspection solution for smart factories at SMTA International 2017, scheduled to take place September 19–20, 2017 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Vi TECHNOLOGY will exhibit at Booth 1224.
Vi TECHNOLOGY's innovative process improvement software, SIGMA Link, coupled with two high-performance systems from the PI Series (3D SPI) and K Series3D (3D AOI) product families, introduces a new era in process control. The result is one integrated solution for automated optical inspection, with a live link between systems and smart interface to improve your SMT process and productivity.
SIGMA Link is the essential element for Smart Factories to combine all inspection data and transform them into valuable information for the users. This real-time interface ensures full traceability and enables interlocking of machines to automate SMT lines while driving yields to new levels, especially important for the automotive, aerospace and defense sectors.
The new 5K3D is a 100 percent 3D AOI-based on laser technology with angled cameras combined with the 2D Spectro optical solution. This new patented 3D AOI combination offers complete defect coverage with high precision metrology. The awarded PI Series 3D SPI offers new horizons with programming-free software and unprecedented accuracy for small pads. These two measurement systems are the prerequisite for actionable data and process control.
