Cost-Effective AOI from Mek (Marantz Electronics) at APEX 2023
January 16, 2023 | Mek (Marantz Electronics)Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Mek will be part of North America’s largest gathering of electronics manufacturing professionals later this month – the IPC APEX EXPO 2023, at San Diego Convention Center on January 24th – 26th, 2023. They will be showcasing their latest AOI technology on booth #1539.
Mek will be exhibiting the VeriSpector THT assembly station AOI, a low-cost assembly station AOI for use on manual and semi-automated SMD and THT assembly lines. Featuring an overhead orthogonal camera and LED lighting system the VeriSpector is designed for a wide verity of inspection needs.
Initially, available as a manual inspection system, VeriSpector is now available as both an in-line system and as a modular system for self-integration. These new developments allow manufacturers to easily integrate the VeriSpector Assembly Station AOI into their existing production lines, giving them even more control and flexibility in their inspection processes.
Also at the show, visitors can experience the powerful PowerSpector benchtop AOI featuring the latest generation 5MP USB 3 Vision Cameras. The PowerSpector AOI systems offer selective 3D imaging of components with side cameras integrated in the 3D processing. The systems are suitable for use in pre-reflow, post-reflow, post-wave and post-selective soldering, and can also be used for 2D solder paste inspection and first article inspection.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
