October 21, 2019 | MirtecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MIRTEC has installed one of its award-winning MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI systems at Universal Instruments’ Advanced Process Lab (APL) in Conklin, New York. Universal’s APL offers comprehensive research, analytical and advanced assembly services that enable manufacturers to realize rapid product introduction, maximize yield and optimize reliability.
Brian D’Amico, president of MIRTEC’s North American Sales and Service Division stated, “We are very excited to partner with Universal Instruments’ in placing one of our technologically advanced 3D AOI systems in their Advanced Process Lab. Our intention is to collaborate on new inspection solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry, combining the strengths of MIRTEC’s 3D inspection technology with the expertise and process knowledge of UIC’s personnel. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship moving forward.”
MIRTEC’s industry acclaimed MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI machines are configured with the company’s exclusive OMNI-VISION® 3D inspection system which combines 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress camera technology with MIRTEC’s revolutionary Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré 3D system. This proprietary system yields precise height measurement data used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as 3D solder fillet inspection post reflow.
Fully configured the MV-6 OMNI systems feature four 10 mega pixel side-view cameras in addition to the 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Top-Down Camera as well as an 8-phase COLOR lighting system to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies.

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.
