PowerSpector Inline AOI

PowerSpector Inline Automatic Optical Inspection Systems for Assembly Line Integration

A valuable part of your workflow process, Mek inline AOI systems directly identify errors and emerging process trends. Packed with up to 18 multi-angle 25 MP cameras, refining complex process for optimal productivity in your electronics manufacturing environment has never been easier. With inspection areas of 350 x 250mm and 550 x 650mm inspection area can be customized to meet your needs, especially with our technology designed to compensate for tall components and especially difficult viewing angles.

PowerSpector Selective 3D AOI (J Series)

Th J Series is designed for maximum defect coverage whilst maintaining short programming times. These AOI machines come equipped with up to 9 configurable cameras ( 1 top and 8 side) for maximum flexibility, so they can fit your needs today while providing upgrade possibilities for the future.

Selective 3D Laser Measurement Technology

Revolutionary Selective 3D Laser Measurement Technology, allows users to conduct selective height measurements of any object with unprecedented precision by assigning a reference point and a target.

PowerSpector JSAz Series

The PowerSpector JSAz series is designed for customers for whom production quality is priority.

JSAz Series Features

The JSAz series allows inspection of taller components with a Top Clearance of 60mm and side cameras with a larger Field of View and 15µm resolution. A larger 3 angle lighting system secures optimal meniscus profiling in combination with increased top clearance. This does not sacrifice the maximum inspection area.

Inspection Capabilities

JSAz AOI systems are versatile inspection engines, reliably inspecting SMT and THT component bodies for presence/absence, type, polarity, offset, text, colors etc. and components solder fillets for excessive, insufficient, no solder, shorts, lifted leads etc. Suitable for use in pre-reflow, post-reflow, post-wave and post-selective soldering, they can also be used for 2D solder paste inspection and first article inspection.

3D Imaging and Camera Technology

Passive 3D capture technique utilizing the side cameras create 3D component images using all 9 cameras. The addition of a 4th white light angle on the JSAz head allows for real light side images of these 3D components.

Combining its high resolution top camera with telecentric lens and new, unique multiplexed 8x ‘USB 3 Vision’ side-camera technology, with Tilt-Shift lenses in 45/45 orientation, found defects are presented to classification and repair stations like an automatic-9 fold microscope. For the orthogonal camera a lens resolution between 10µ and 15µ per pixel can be selected, to accommodate the smallest component placed on the assembled PCB’s.

The 4 light sources with 2 different colours originating from different angles create a detailed profile of solder menisci, while the white main light results in real colour representation of components. With the DOAL (Diffused On Axis Light) that projects exactly 90⁰ on the target components, solder quality can always be inspected even when tall components are present.

Mechanical & Production Features

The 30mm Z axis allows for compensation of warp and the ability to focus on the tops of tall components and Sub PCBs mounted above the normal plane of the PCB.

The XY drive gantry with ball screw mechanics allow high speed inspection while maintaining high accuracy and precision. Specially coated shafts deliver quiet operation and minimal wear for lowest maintenance and calibration requirements. Several chassis with different PCB loading possibilities including direct loading and manual or automatic drawer loading with integrated automatic clamping systems. are available to create a comfortable operating environment, minimize PCB loading/unloading efforts and save time.

Process Control

Mek’s process control system, the Catch System can network multiple Mek AOI machines into a completely closed loop process monitoring and quality control system uniquely optimized for each user’s workflow and internal organization.
