October 8, 2024 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
ViTrox, which aims to be the world’s most trusted technology company, is pleased to announce our participation in SMTA International (SMTAi) at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Booth #2111 and #2730 from 22 to 24 October 2024.
The SMTA International Conference & Expo provides an excellent opportunity for ViTrox to connect with suppliers, buyers, and users within the electronics manufacturing and assembly industry. This year, ViTrox proudly presents V310i Advanced 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Solution, V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution and award-winning V9i Advanced Robotic Vision (ARV) Solution, setting a new standard in flexible inspections for conformal coating and final assembly.
Discover ViTrox's State-of-the-Art Inspection Solutions:
V310i Advanced 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Solution
This solution is engineered to deliver unmatched precision in solder paste inspection and is suitable for operators of all levels. Its Ultra Smart Programming feature allows users to easily set parameters, reducing human dependency and enabling faster programming for increased productivity. It complies with IPC-CFX-2591 standards, ensuring optimal results and setting a new industry standard for solder paste inspection.
V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution
ViTrox’s V510i 3D AOI Solution integrates advanced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Smart Technologies, automates programming and buy-off processes. This reduces reliance on skilled manual labour and minimises human error. With A.I. Smart Programming, users can achieve up to a 4x reduction in programming time, enhancing yield. The A.I. Assisted Defect Review (A.I. VVTS) feature further automates defect verification in repair stations, delivering over 90% judgement accuracy. This leads to approximately a 60% reduction in labour costs. Additionally, the solution meets IPC-CFX-2591 standards, earning its place on the Qualified Products Listing (QPL) and ensuring seamless integration with Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing environments. The V510i 3D has been widely recognised for its outstanding performance, receiving multiple esteemed awards such as the 2024 New Product Introduction Award, 2023 Global Technology Award and 2023 Mexico Technology Award.
V9i Advanced Robotic Vision (ARV) Solution
The V9i ARV features a 6-axis COBOT design, allowing adjustable angle inspections up to 90°. Its Advanced Smart Learning Algorithm detects various conformal coating defects and performs final assembly inspections of screws, cosmetics, connectors and labels without requiring CAD data. With multifocal vision ranging from 5mm to 200mm and image clarity up to 14µm/px, it ensures accurate defect detection. Seamlessly integrating into production lines via SMEMA or operating offline, the V9i ARV enhances traceability and provides reliable, comprehensive inspection coverage. The V9i ARV has earned prestigious industry awards, including the 2024 New Product Introduction Award, 2021 Global Technology Award and 2020 IPC APEX EXPO Innovation Award, recognising its outstanding performance and innovation.
