Increased Efficiency in inline THT PCB Inspection

From now on, carriers sized up to 620 mm x 510 mm can be fed into the system, whereby the AOI modules inspection area allows the test of PCBs up to 540 mm x 410 mm dimensions at a component height up to 80 mm. Depending on production organisation, carriers with or without assemblies can be returned in the lower part of the AOI system.

The OptiCon THT-Line features the latest system software version OptiCon PILOT 5.2. It supports the inspection of THT assemblies by particularly convenient opportunities for test program generation by means of “easyELKO” and “easyOCR”. These functions allow for polarity check of electrolytic capacitors as well as label reading without prior pre-learning process. Compared to already known character recognition methods, this means a revolutionary step in OCR utilisation for quality control of electronic assemblies.

Additionally, the available touchscreen operation with optimised user interface provides a convenient and efficient working method with the system.
