NEW AOI OPTICAL INSPECTION FOR THT COMPONENTS

EAS constantly invests in quality and installs the new AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) machine for THT (through-hole) components. It is an innovative solution for the automated optical inspection of components with through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

This AOI is able to detect and classify the quality of solder joints, the presence, polarity and marking of components, both SMD and THT, with high precision and speed. It is based on 3D imaging technology, this technology allows you to acquire three-dimensional images of components and welds. The 3D images are then processed by powerful software that uses computer vision and artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the geometric and morphological characteristics of the components and welds. Furthermore, the machine is able to perform inspections on both sides of the board at the same time, thanks to the cameras positioned on both the top and bottom sides.

This new AOI integrates seamlessly with our existing inspection systems, including SPI, AOI SMD 2D/3D and X-Ray 3D, ensuring complete inspection coverage across all processes.

The AOI machine for THT components offers numerous advantages over traditional manual visual inspection methods:

  • better quality and reliability of products: thanks to the reduction of defects,
  • process efficiency and productivity: the AOI machine significantly reduces inspection times, improving the overall efficiency and productivity of the production process,
  • process traceability and control: the collection and archiving of inspection data allow complete tracking and control of the production process,
  • objective inspection: automated inspection offers a higher level of objectivity than the operator’s visual inspection, eliminating the potential subjective factor.

 

The new AOI machine for THT components is therefore a cutting-edge solution for the automated optical inspection of SMD (Surface Mounting Device) and THT (Through-Hole) components, which responds to the needs of quality, reliability and productivity, increasingly requested by our customers.

EAS S.p.A. continues its growth program, always investing in the continuous improvement of its activities and customer satisfaction.
