Sherlock-300F benchtop automated optical inspection system handles components as small as 01005s. PCB assemblies are fed into the machine on a built-in conveyor, eliminating the drawer design typical of benchtop AOI. All program setup and operation is done directly on a touchscreen display using multi-touch gestures.
Generates inspection programs from pick-and-place files or CAD data import. Can be used after stencil printing for 2D solder paste inspection, after placement for component presence, placement and value verification, and after reflow or wave soldering for solder joint and final assembly inspection. Automatically adjusts for board warp and flexible substrates.
