The P-AOI – Punching Automated Optical Inspection is a system designed to perform visual inspection of previously punched connectors in order to check if the punching process is in accordance with the required.
The machine verifies if the correct holes are punched and the quality of the punch (hole clearance and burr dimensions).
The punching pattern to be verified is selected using a barcode reader or supplied by an APM machine.
The patterns are defined locally, by the user as well as the hole clearance and acceptance threshold.
The user places the punched connectors into a matrix and presses a button to start the inspection process.
The software automatically identifies if the pattern is the correct one and which holes are OK and NOK.
The matrix is flexible for different connectors, but can also be exchanged if needed.
New connectors identification software can be easily upgraded into the machine.
