ATLANTA – Siemens Automation and Drives has acquired 3D AOI maker Opto-Control Elektronik Prufsysteme GmbH, effective July 5.

Opto-Control’s inspection systems are fully automated and use 3-D sensor to detect solder or placement defects.  The newly expanded Siplace portfolio combines these AOI systems from Opto-Control with Siemens SMT placement machines, enabling customers to better implement the high process reliability requirements of electronics manufacturing, the company said.

The Opto-Control business will be integrated into the Optical Solutions (OI) unit of Siemens’ Electronics Assembly Systems division. Siemens said it wants to significantly expand its system with fully automated 3-D inspection systems in the future.
