ViTrox Unveils Smart 3D AOI Solutions, Pioneering Dual-Sided Inspection and Robotic Vision Solutions for Back-end Assembly Processes
August 4, 2025 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
ViTrox, which strives to be the World’s Most Trusted Technology Company, proudly announces the launch of its new-generation innovations in Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) technology for back-end assembly processes. Expanding its comprehensive AOI portfolio, ViTrox introduces three new systems:
- V510Ai DST Smart 3D AOI System
- V510Ai ST Smart 3D AOI System
- V510Ai R Smart Robotic Vision System
These new platforms deliver outstanding inspection performance, meeting the evolving needs of modern electronics manufacturing, especially in post-THT wave soldering, selective soldering, conformal coating, and final assembly inspection processes.
Notably, the DST system has been honoured with the 2025 NPI Award by Circuit Assembly, a prestigious recognition that highlights innovation and excellence in new product development within the electronics manufacturing industry.
Redefined Full-Range Back-end Assembly Inspection
V510Ai ST & DST: Smart 3D AOI System For Back-end Inspection
ViTrox’s V510Ai ST and DST systems are engineered to deliver high-performance 2D and 3D AOI inspection for back-end PCB assembly processes. Both platforms support the top-side surface of tall components up to 100mm, making them ideal for PCBs with high top-clearance requirements. The V510Ai DST further enhances inspection capabilities with its simultaneous dual-sided (top and bottom) inspection, providing comprehensive coverage for both SMT and THT processes. Both systems can be equipped with four configurable angular vision cameras, extending advanced side view inspection of partially hidden joints and side surface Optical Character Verification (OCV) inspection. Enhanced by built-in Artificial Intelligence features — such as A.I. Smart Programming, A.I. Recipe Quality Control and an autonomous A.I. Defect Review and Buyoff station — these features streamline inspection and programming setup for SMT and THT components, reduce human intervention, and accelerate deployment. The V510Ai ST and DST redefine inspection speed, accuracy, and efficiency, setting a new benchmark for AOI performance in back-end processes.
V510Ai R: Smart Robotic Vision
An advanced robotic vision platform designed for automated conformal coating and final assembly inspection. Fully integrable as an inline system, the V510Ai R minimises manual handling, enhances throughput, and supports high-mix manufacturing environments with greater flexibility and precision.
Powering AOI with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)
The V510Ai AOI Solutions is powered by ViTrox’s latest A.I. technologies, designed to simplify programming, enhance detection accuracy, and minimise operator dependency:
- A.I. Smart Programming: Enables effortless and intelligent programming for SMT and THT components, ensuring high-quality inspection recipes with minimal operator effort.
- CAD-less A.I. Programming: Enables 5-minute view-based programming for final inspection applications such as conformal coating, final assembly, and foreign material detection in unpopulated areas—without the need for CAD data.
- A.I. Component Auto-Populate: Leverages A.I. to auto-detect and populate components, automatically generating mounted component information into the inspection recipe files for rapid and easy setup, again, without CAD file requirements.
- Generative A.I. 3D: Uses generative A.I. to simulate 3D structure from 2D vision configurations, delivering stable inspection results even in challenging inspection environments.
These intelligent features significantly reduce programming time and inspection setup complexity, making the V510Ai Series an optimal solution for high-mix, low-volume production environments.
Smarter Inspection for a Smarter Future
Combining ViTrox’s proprietary vision algorithms, an intuitive software interface, and robust hardware, the V510Ai Series helps manufacturers achieve:
- Enhanced inspection accuracy
- Lower false call rates
- Greater operational efficiency
All systems are fully compatible with ViTrox’s Manufacturing Intelligence Solutions Towards Industry 5.0 – V-ONE, enabling real-time production visibility, data-driven decision-making, and smart factory integration.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
