Fully Automated First Article Inspector

Features and Benefits of the SMT Automatic First Article Inspection Machine

Overview of the SMT Automatic First Article Inspection Machine

The SMT Automatic First Article Inspection Machine is a device used in the electronics manufacturing industry to automatically inspect the first article on the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production line to ensure that the product is of high quality and meets the expected specifications. This equipment automates and improves the efficiency of first article inspection by integrating CAD coordinates, BOM lists, and first article PCB scans, and the system automatically enters the measurement data.

Functional Features

- AUTOMATIC INSPECTION: SMT Automatic First Article Testers automatically measure and determine part specifications, reducing the need for manual intervention.

- Efficiency: SMT Automatic First Article Testers can significantly increase inspection speed and save labor costs compared to traditional manual inspection methods.

- Accuracy: Using the customer's original BOM and CAD files, the automatically generated inspection program ensures the correctness of the first article inspection data.

- Quality Traceability: The system displays the inspection status in real time, avoiding missed inspections and tracing out problematic parts for improved quality control.

Technical Parameters

- Measurement Accuracy: The measurement accuracy of some devices can reach 0.05%, which ensures the accuracy of inspection results.

- Measuring Frequency: The measuring frequency of the equipment is usually in the range of 20-300kHz, which is suitable for the inspection of various SMT components.

- Component Query: some devices have optical image processing system, which can automatically identify and determine the information of components, such as silkscreen, direction and polarity, according to the image of the first PCB.

Comparison of Advantages

Compared with traditional first article inspection methods, fully automated first article inspectors have obvious advantages in terms of labor savings, improved inspection speed, quality assurance and traceability.
