High throughput claims for robotic copy station
Available now from Cupio is the first fully automated copying station worldwide that can be used to copy data to large quantities of memory cards.
The X1 automatically analyses the X-ray images of solder joints to detect structural defects such as insufficient solder, voiding, shorts and opens.
These typically account for up to 90% of the total defects on a complex board.
Programming is fast and intuitive, with a typical complete inspection program being created by an operator in less than 30 minutes.
The X1 utilises a standard package library to simplify training and to ensure program portability across varied manufacturing lines.
Newly available image processing technology integrates several techniques and inspection algorithms to provide complete inspection coverage with an extremely low false failure rate.
Ideal for in-line or off-line operation, the X1's proven algorithms enable fast and reliable automated inspection as well as real-time monitoring of critical process information.
YesTech's optional remote programming and real-time SPC software maximise system utilisation to provide a comprehensive yield enhancement solution.
Don Miller, YesTech President, states: "For electronics manufacturers, automated X-ray inspection (AXI) is becoming increasingly popular because, like its counterpart, automated optical inspection (AOI), AXI offers a cost effective, noninvasive inspection solution for today's complicated assemblies".
"The YesTech X1 now brings this important capability to market with the fastest return on investment available".
