"Compared to AOI solutions, the 500 VIC is a simpler, more affordable solution for quality control and product monitoring. The same equipment can also be used in functional testing, like checking the functioning of a keyboard. This makes it an even more cost-effective solution, as you can combine multiple functions in one cell," said business unit manager Arto Timonen.
The cell can be applied to barcode reading, inspection of label positioning or scratches, and it can check PCBs for missing or misplaced components. The high-resolution camera can scan a field of view of only 10 x 7 mm.
The company believes using automation instead of people in visual inspection will improve throughput and quality. "It is inevitable that people get tired in a fairly short span of time when they have to check complex boards or products by eye. A machine never gets tired, so it can do the inspection faster and without fail which in the long run improves overall production reliability and quality," Timonen said in a press release.
Has modular structure, can be connected to different test platforms.
