Lingchen Technology Industrial Computer Applications in AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) Industry
In the production process of electronic products, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) serve as the support structure for electronic components and provide the connections for electronic circuitry, holding a dominant position in the electronics industry. The process of Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) involves the assembly of components onto the bare PCB through Surface Mount Technology (SMT) or Dual In-line Package (DIP) insertion. As the core and foundation of the entire system, the manufacturing quality of PCBA directly impacts the reliability of electronic products, making the inspection of the PCBA production process particularly critical.
Focusing on the optical inspection field within the PCBA production process, the product range includes pre- and post-reflow AOI for DIP, SMT 2D AOI, 3D AOI, 3D SPI, double-sided AOI, and coating inspection equipment. The AIS40X series devices utilize high-precision color industrial cameras to capture images of the circuit boards, employing convolutional neural network algorithms for intelligent detection of component placement and soldering defects, achieving efficient inspection. Additionally, with a high-precision motion system and path planning capabilities, the inspection speed is significantly enhanced. Furthermore, this series of products supports remote centralized management and SPC data statistical analysis, assisting enterprises in reducing costs and improving efficiency.
