Functional Extensions in GOEPEL electronic’s AOI/AXI Systems

At this year’s SMT/Hybrid/Packaging in Nuremberg/Germany, GOEPEL electronic once again introduces new functions in its AOI/AXI systems for quality assurance in electronics manufacturing.

The OptiCon series in-line systems newly feature the opportunity of a 3D solder paste inspection and AOI, combined in one system. The inspection machines can efficiently be utilised for both test tasks – integrated in a production line or offline as so called “isle solution”. The combination of AOI and 3D paste inspection results in a significant cost reduction because users don’t have to apply two different systems. Due to specific requirements to the 3D solder paste inspection, the system is freely scalable in terms of measurement accuracy and inspection speed.

In addition to the introduction of the worldwide unrivalled angled-view inspection module “Chameleon” enhanced to support colour, GOEPEL electronic presents the new version of its AOI system software OptiCon PILOT 5.1. The new version’s critical features are new functions for an even faster test program generation incl. debug process. With regard to a safe fault evaluation, up to eight additional angled views for analysis are available at the verification station.

The x-ray inspection system (AXI) OptiCon X-Line 3D has also been extended. The system offers a maximum fault detection based on a layered reconstruction (e.g. at BGA balls). It guarantees a fast and convenient test program generation by using a consistent library for all solder joints and components of the same type.
Furthermore, the verification station enables a reliable fault analysis by illustrative visualisation in 3D and single layers.

“The SMT show will indicate the direction the electronics industry is heading”, says Jens Kokott, Team Manager of GOEPEL electronic’s AOI department. “We are well positioned and make further important steps towards establishing our solutions on top of the market by introducing new functions in our AOI/AXI systems.”
