MEK Launches New PowerSpector JSAz 550: Larger 3D Desktop AOI System with New Chassis
September 11, 2024 | MEKEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Mek (Marantz Electronics), a leader in Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) technology, proudly announces the launch of its latest product, the PowerSpector JSAz 550. This new selective 3D desktop AOI system is a larger L-size model, capable of accommodating Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) up to 550x550mm (21.7”x21.7”).
The PowerSpector JSAz 550 features a completely redesigned chassis, which includes upgraded motors, drives, and spindles. While the optics and software remain consistent with MEK’s other desktop models, the new chassis design ensures that the JSAz 550 meets the demands of inspecting larger PCBs with efficiency and precision.
The Mek PowerSpector JSAz desktop AOI system is designed for maximum defect coverage while maintaining short programming times. It is the only desktop AOI machine on the market that can be equipped with nine cameras: one top and eight side cameras, offering ultimate flexibility and future upgrade possibilities. The revolutionary selective 3D laser measurement technology ensures accurate and reliable height measurements.
The PowerSpector JSAz series is optimized for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) with a top clearance of 30mm, side cameras with 10µ resolution, and four-angle lighting. The JSAz+ series accommodates taller Through-Hole Technology (THT) components with a top clearance of 60mm, larger field of view side cameras, and 15µm resolution, ensuring optimal meniscus profiling without sacrificing the maximum inspection area.
MEK’s Catch System networks multiple AOI machines into a closed-loop process monitoring and quality control system, optimized for each user’s workflow and internal organization.
