IntelliText OCR is for AutoVision 3.0 software. Has optical character recognition functionality. Is for reading characters on products in automated identification, tracking, and inspection applications. Can convert human-readable characters into machine-readable characters. Reportedly can be adjusted to recognize characters regardless of marking or printing method. Is capable of reading text printed by inkjet, drop on demand, direct part marking, and more. Can train on character variations and store them in a font library. Advanced character segmentation allows the software to parse characters regardless of uniformity or precision of the print region. Offers image preprocessing. Includes image binarization process that converts grayscale image to a binary image. Supports string matching.

Summit LXi large board rework supports assemblies up to 24 x 36" (610 x 914mm) and incorporates a large area 8.0 kW bottom heater for fast board conditioning. Options include noncontact solder scavenging, local bottom-site heater, and a wide variety of tooling for components ranging from large connectors to micro passives. Is built on the LX platform with updated thermal process controls. Control system eliminates effects of facility variations and supports more precise calibration, permitting process parameters to be readily shared between systems in multiple locations. Closed-loop control for heater gas flow combined with enhanced thermocouple feedback and a new strategy for heater power management accurately matches each system, for storing centralized profiles on a host server to be accessed and used anywhere. SierraMate V9 software provides a simplified icon-based GUI. Enhanced profiling tools ease profiling and allow profiles to be tweaked without being re-learned. Standard network interface permits centralized storage of process files with easy access for multiple systems. MES interface can be customized to meet specific requirements.
