Optical inspection system ViproColour Inline

automaticsolderingfor production

The solder joint inspection system ViproColour Inline is designed for high volume and inline productions. However, different methods of programming allow an easy and fast setup of test programs for different sizes of batches. For small batches and prototyping programming can be done fast and easily by image comparison with a Golden Board. A manual and an automatic mode are available. In the manual mode the Golden Board and the production board appear alternately at the computer monitor. Differences in the images (defects) will fast be recognised by the operator. In the automatic mode the areas to be tested have to be predetermined. When using a bare board or a printed board, these test areas are created automatic- ally. All of these test areas are later compared with the golden board. A report will be generated during the test. If a Golden Board is not available, a normal production board can be used, with all the variations in process quality. These boards are not perfect references, but the programming is fast and easy. If the batch size is bigger or a higher level of test depth and a lower quantity of pseudo defects are required, the programming with CAD-data is advised. The comprehensive component library, which is included, simplifies program- ming. The component library provides all parameters which can be modified by the operator. Additionally, new customer specific libraries can be set up.
