MIRTEC plans to exhibit at SMTA International, scheduled to take place October 16-17, 2018 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The company will premier its award-winning MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI and MS-11e 3D SPI systems booth number 208.
“We at MIRTEC are very excited to present what is unquestionably the inspection industry’s most technologically advanced 3D AOI System at SMTAI 2018”, says Brian D’Amico, president of MIRTEC’s North American Sales and Service Division. The all new MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI machine is configured with MIRTEC’s exclusive OMNI-VISION 3D inspection technology which combines our award winning 15 mega pixel CoaXPress camera technology with MIRTEC’s revolutionary digital tri-frequency moiré 3D system to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies. MIRTEC’s proprietary 15 mega pixel CoaXPress camera system is designed and manufactured by MIRTEC for use with our complete product range of inspection equipment. MIRTEC’s Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré Technology, provides true 3D inspection for devices up to 25mm tall using a total of four Programmable Digital Moiré Projectors. This proprietary system yields precise height measurement data used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as solder volume post reflow. Fully configured the new MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI machines feature four 10 mega pixel side-view cameras in addition to the 15 mega pixel top-down camera. There is little doubt that this new technology will set the standard by which all other inspection equipment will be measured.
MIRTEC’s award-winning MS-11e 3D SPI Machine is configured with an exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera System, providing enhanced image quality, superior accuracy and incredibly fast inspection rates.
The MS-11e uses Dual Projection Shadow Free Moiré Phase Shift Imaging Technology to inspect solder paste depositions on PCBs post screen print for insufficient solder, excessive solder, shape deformity, shift of deposition and bridging. The MS-11e uses the same robust platform as MIRTEC’s MV-6 OMNI Series.
MIRTEC’s total quality management system software, INTELLISYS also will be on display at SMTA International. This software suite promotes continuous process improvement by allowing manufacturers to track and eliminate defects on inspected assemblies.
“MIRTEC continues to set new standards within the highly competitive electronics inspection industry”, continued D’Amico. “These revolutionary products provide unprecedented 3D inspection performance and the industry’s lowest cost of ownership, making them an ideal solution for electronics manufacturing companies of all sizes. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our booth #208 during the two-day event.”

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.
