GÖPEL puts FlashFox centre stage at productronica

This year's showpiece is the FlashFOX - an innovative production programmer for embedded in-system programming (ISP). With outstanding features, it offers a new level of performance, flexibility and speed. Its high connectivity in combination with new licensing mechanisms opens up new and cost-efficient application scenarios for users. Its scalability, adaptability and first-class performance parameters make it a highly effective, next generation production programmer.

The new generation of the inspection module MultiEyeS plus for THT assembly will also be on parade. This smart system monitors the presence of THT components, positions, colours, 2D codes and texts in real time. Thanks to the latest image and lighting technologies, impressive image quality is achieved so that errors are reliably detected and can be corrected immediately. Optionally, the system offers user-guided assistance during placement by projecting information into the operator's field of view through the integration of a powerful laser projector. In addition, this technology also makes the faults detected by the AOI during placement visible directly on the PCB. This inspection module for assembly stations thus takes a further step in industrial image processing and offers the possibility of further optimising manufacturing processes.

In its claim to offer customers innovative and resource-saving inspection solutions, GÖPEL electronic relies on powerful features. With proven methods and groundbreaking technologies, the focus is always on both efficiency for the user and quality for their products.

Adaptable 360° projections guarantee a 3D measurement without shadowing, which allows a deep view even into narrow component canyons. The user also maintains an overview and full process control through central verification of inspection results with PILOT Supervisor and AI-supported classification with AI advisor. With this impressive functionality, GÖPEL electronic is taking a decisive step towards the future of autonomous inspection with regard to inspection programme creation and defect classification. The use of digital twins, both of the PCB or Board to be produced and of the AOI system itself, also has a supporting effect here. The aim is to have a test programme as close to ready to use as possible before the first PCB or Board is produced.

Another feature of PILOT AOI version 7 should be of interest to small and medium-sized production service providers: if layout data is missing, the AOI programme can now be created on the basis of a bareboard, making the award-winning MagicClick function available to the user even without Gerber data.

The latest version 4.9.0 of the SYSTEM CASCON system software includes a multitude of innovations for embedded test and programming. From the configurable Production Inspector to the faster execution of JAM/STAPL files on SFX II controllers to the visualisation tool ViPX at IC level - this version promises greater speed and user-friendliness.

The all-in-one solution BARCUDA VP230 is also part of the trade fair presentation. Without the time-consuming configuration of a special in-house test system, it enables flexible testing and programming of electronic PCB or Boards with and without JTAG/Boundary Scan.
