The Christopher Group has introduced the DaiNippon Screen (Kyoto, Japan) FP 8000 final visual inspection system. Using DaiNippon Screen’s advanced color imaging system, it inspects both sides of the substrate automatically for surface defects including scratches, chips, exposed metal surfaces, discoloration, solder mask on pads, and other surface defects. Can inspect gold, copper, solder mask and legend ink, as well as the underlying patterns. Substrates with multiple surface finishes can also be inspected.
Image capture and processing speed is up to 200% faster than previous models with an inspection time of less than 30 sec. for both sides of an 18 x 20” substrate. Is fully automatic, and programming is simple. Has Windows XP user interface, can be linked to the VS Series verification stations.
