FA-Inspector
Desktop AOI Scanner
Quickly • Accurately • Verify Assemblies to BOMs
First Article Inspection
In electronics manufacturing, the "First Article" is built by SMT lines and sent to the inspection department to check the product assembled against a Bills of Materials (BOM), ensuring that the programs contained in the pick-and-place machine are correct, and that parts are placed into the feeders in the correct locations. The FA-Inspector provides First Article validation and much more.... |
Simple Process: |
|
 |
Scan: Load and scan first PCB |
|
Align: Define size and align board |
|
Train: Teach component ROIs |
|
Test: Run test > next PCB |
|
Report: Save, email or print… |
FA-Inspector, Desktop AOI Scanner
First Article Inspection & Line Release
The FA-Inspector is a scanner-based optical inspection system used for first article inspection and build-to-BOM validation prior to line release.
The FA-Inspector provides faster and more accurate inspection results than is possible using a light ring or microscope. The system also generates detailed reports containing Part ID and CAD error locations to quality deliverables and ensure easy rework.

FA-CAD Conversion (CFX) Software: |
|
|
Convert CAD directly from pick-&-place data or teach devices semi-automatically. |
| CFX Process: | |
|
Scan the first board
|
|
CFX Viewer auto runs and requests the CAD file
|
|
Validate, align and scale the CAD to the image
|
|
Save the adjusted results
|
|
CFX Viewer closes and returns to AOI
