THT in-line Inspection: Contradiction or greater Efficiency?

THT in-line Inspection: Contradiction or greater Efficiency?

The utilisation of Automated Optical Inspection systems has become an integral part in quality assurance of electronic assemblies. Depending on batch size and product mixture, AOI systems as Inline integration or as a stand-alone solution benefit efficiency and quality compared to manual inspection or even In-Circuit Test.

Most common is the usage of AOI systems for SMD assemblies. Rather unknown is their utilisation for the inspection of THT boards, in particular large-sized PCBs and high-performance components with primarily manual assembling. Because of the PCB dimensions as well as requirements due to line integration, conventional AOI systems capabilities are exceeded.
