Automated Optical Inspection

Electronics manufacturers are always seeking ways to identify and control defects throughout the PCB assembly process. One of the most effective techniques developed to date has been the incorporation of automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment located in-line during the PCB assembly both post-placement and post-reflow. Anorad's expertise in vision-based motion control and high-performance gantries for overhead XYZ positioning of moving cameras makes them uniquely qualified and extremely capable in satisfying the demands of AOI equipment builders.
