SpectorBox Modular 3D AOI for THT

THT Solutions with 3D Direct Volume Measurement of Solder Joints & Pin Height

The Mek SpectorBOX modular AOI platform is expertly designed for inspecting Wave & Selective Soldering in through-hole (THT) components on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). It seamlessly integrates with conveyor systems, allowing for efficient inspections within solder frames.

In THT assembly lines, where custom-built solutions and handling systems for dedicated products are the norm, standard AOI machines fall short due to size, weight, clearance, and environmental conditions. Mek’s modular platform offers a customizable solution, making it adaptable to your unique production environment.

Complementing the SpectorBOX is the Mek VeriSpector AOI,  which provides manual assembly guidance and inspection, creating a comprehensive THT inspection solution for the entire assembly process. Mek’s Catch system streamlines the transfer of inspection data for repair, statistical process control (SPC), monitoring, and communication with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), managed by IT departments beyond the factory floor.

3D Direct Volume Measurement of Solder Joint Features:

  • Pin height measurements

  • Shape analysis of solder joints

  • Press-Fit penetration inspection

  • Effective shadow and high-gloss solder reflection suppression enhancing repeatability and reliability

  • High-clearance over 100mm (3.9″) on the THT solder side for use under various conveyor systems, enabling comprehensive 3D THT solder joints and component inspections.

  • 60mm Z-axis for inspecting at different heights

Additional Features:

  • Designed for THT Solder Inspection of Wave, Selective, Robotic, Laser and Hand Soldered boards

  • Anomaly detection for bridges, balls and foreign material

  • Easy Exchangeable and Serviceable module concept

  • Integrates well with custom conveyor systems for efficient inspections within solder frames

  • Compact design, separate control box, and I/O options make it easy to integrate.

  • Adopted by integrators into complex THT production lines

  • Complementing Mek’s VeriSpector for Manual Assembly Guidance and Inspection

  • Connects to Mek’s Catch system for handling inspection data for Repair, SPC, Monitoring, and MES communication

  • Catch system runs by Win11 Platform. Managed by IT divisions outside the factory floor
