Texcel Technology - 3D AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection)

Our shiny new machine

At the end of last year, we took delivery of a shiny new 3D AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection). The Mirtec MV-3 OMNI to be precise. This machine is equipped with the best performing cameras in the world, has a fantastic projector and lighting system and excellent software integration.

AOI has become an essential tool in today’s surface mount (SMT) manufacturing environment. Growing trends towards the use of smaller components increases the need for AOI. It provides a means of inspecting for common defects and enables the highest level of quality assurance. Using both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) inspection strategies is proving to be the most cost-effective solution as technology advances.

The primary advantage of 3D inspection over 2D inspection is that it provides true volumetric height data. Co-planarity on lifted leads and other height sensitive devices can be detected easily. As height data can be measured, AOI programmers can specify the precise height tolerance acceptable for a specific component. Using 3D inspection for co-planarity detection also provides a significant reduction in false calls when compared with 2D inspection. We have selected the Mirtec MV-3L as the best solution to support our customers and we are looking forward to commissioning this within our high=tech production facilities.
