New 3D AOI at Libra Industries’ Mentor Facility
May 28, 2018 | Libra IndustriesEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Libra Industries is pleased to announce that it has installed an Omron VT-S730 3D Post Reflow AOI system at its Mentor facility. The company now has three 3D AOI systems from Omron, with the first two already running at its Dallas, Texas facility.
The Omron VT-S730 3D AOI machine offers 3D full component and solder inspection capabilities. It provides the quantification of solder joint shape which dramatically improves accuracy and reduces the number of false rejects. In the field, production needs are evolving with the consolidation of the traceability, and the implementation of quality management on a global basis.
Libra Industries has implemented the new high performance, high-speed inspection system to provide its customers with high quality SMT production. The company can certify its SMT production with full IPC standard compliance using Omron’s new 3D-SJI technology.
With the 3D-SJI combo technology, Libra Industries can easily detect lifted lead, lifted component and component coplanarity, and provide high quality solder joint inspection. The VT-S730 features color highlight™ 3D solder shape reconstruction technology, as well as specific phase shift inspection technology that makes it a highly efficient inspection system.
Libra Industries continues to invest to provide customized manufacturing solutions to help make its customers more competitive and improve their profitability.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
