ASC International to Exhibit Dual Mode AOI / SPI Inspection at IPC APEX 2016
March 9, 2016 | ASC InternationalEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
ASC International, a leading manufacturer of 3-D solder paste inspection and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, today announced that it will exhibit in Booth #1239 at the 2016 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place March 15-17, 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. ASC will exhibit the VisionPro M500, VisionPro AP500 and the LineMaster DM with the latest larger FOV - PSI 1000 sensor. The new PSI sensor provides inspection speed improvements of 5X over previous PSI sensors. The combination of 2D AOI along with the newly added higher speed SPI elevates the LineMaster to an integrated inspection platform all on its own.
The LineMaster DM incorporates SPI and AOI into one platform for true dual mode performance. The solid AOI / SPI platform validates the overall variables associated with component placement and solder paste printing. Combining both inspection capabilities within one platform, the LineMaster DM detects absence/presence, polarity, OCV, misalignment, RDI and solder joint inspection for AOI and the most accurate and repeatable true 3D volumetric measurements for SPI. System features include real-time SPC, customized data reports, offline CAD / Gerber programming and defect repair station. All wrapped together with an affordable price tag similar to purchasing both inspection capabilities for the same price of as one solution alone.
The VisionPro AP500 SPI system incorporates the most advanced, rapid 3-D inspection technology within a stylish vibration-free, fully automated platform. Designed with feature-rich software including onboard real-time SPC, customized data reports and simple-to-use GerberProTM conversion programming software, the VisionPro AP500 has become the industry standard for fully automated, offline SPI around the globe.
The VisionPro M Series of SPI systems incorporates the most advanced, rapid 3-D inspection technology coupled with an intuitive Windows 7 OS and packaged in a rugged, bench-top platform. Utilizing the completely automatic measurement mode, errors associated with manual measurement subjectivity are eliminated, making the VisionPro M500 an exceptional value for electronics manufacturers concerned with improving production yields. Designed with feature-rich software, including onboard real-time SPC run charts, customized data reports, simple-to-use GerberProTM conversion programming software and two sensor technology options, laser and structured white light, the VisionPro M Series is the price to performance leader for offline SPI solutions available on the market today.
