XM AOI camera module has an image capture rate of up to 1.8 gigapixel/sec.. Features four-color illumination from all spatial directions for optimum contrast for all recognizable solder defects as well as for special effects such as script, polarity marks or colored components. Switchable optical resolution of 16 or 8 µm for higher throughput requirements. Extension of the angled view, capture of additional images for the verification station, and additional illuminations are nearly cycle time-neutral, for operator flexibility. Inspects down to 01005 components. Comes on S6056 AOI.

Konform Flexcoat conformal coating is said to be as flexible as an RTV silicone, but without the disadvantages of silicone. Provides a soft, rubbery protective coating. Is said to coat evenly and provide a flexible, durable protective barrier against humidity, salt, corrosive vapors and fungus. It for flexible and rigid printed circuit boards and electronics assemblies. Cured coating can be removed by cutting a small section and peeling the coating away from the surface, or by solvent immersion of the whole board. Meets IPC-CC-830B Class B. Contains a UV indicator for quality control inspection. Compliant with European RoHS and REACH directives and most other environmental standards.
