Registration for Free Goepel Webinar on 3D Inspection for Connector Insertion Closes in 5 Days
October 21, 2015 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Global provider of innovative electronic and optical test and inspection systems Goepel will be presenting their latest webinar, "3D Circumference Inspection for Connector Insertion - Quality Control of Plug-in Contacts using 3D Measurement Method" on Tuesday, October 27.
Spaces is still available to attend the free event (beginner to advanced users) addressing detection of quality and production issues involved with proper installation of plug-in connectors. The webinar is ideally suited to managers for electric assemblies, technologists and production planners as well as CEOs and directors of electronic manufacturing companies.
Requirements related to the quality control of plug-in contacts are higher than ever before. Thereby, inspection of the circumference of the connector to insure proper seating and co-planarity is one of the biggest challenges for inspection systems, pushing conventional AOI technology to its limits very easily.
One solution is an innovative 3D technology for measurement without shadowing effects. What this looks like in detail and what further advantages this technology has for the inspection if plug-in connectors will be explained in the webinar on the 27th of this month. Learn more about 3D and 2D measurement functions for inspection of connectors as well as the combination of various inspection technologies for comprehensive quality control. The finishing touch of the webinar is the presentation on the use of CAD data for automatic generation of measurement programs.
Spaces are still available to attend. Visit Goepel's "3D Circumference Inspection for Connector Insertion - Quality Control of Plug-in Contacts using 3D Measurement Method" event page for more information and to register NOW.

Nolan’s Notes: Looking Deep Into the Future With X-ray
04/02/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesAs a diagnostic tool, X-ray has been around for over a century, and available to EMS inspection for some years. It seems the industry has moved far enough forward to fully embrace X-ray on the assembly line. I’m reminded of Wayne Gretzky’s famous comment about the secret to his scoring success: “I skate to where the puck will be, not where the puck is.” I liken that to X-ray inspection, which has been standing here all this time waiting for the industry to catch up. Has X-ray’s time finally come in electronics manufacturing?
