New Market Overview: Desktop AOI Systems

28 January 2013 – All-about-Test published a new market overview covering Desktop AOI Systems.  We have compiled comprehensive information on this type of inspection systems used in the production of electronic products. You will find an overview of recently published news on this subject on All-about-Test and a market overview of products and providers, together with relevant web links.

Desktop AOI Systems are automatic test solutions for populated PCBs using optical inspection techniques to check the mounted components and sometimes also the solder joints on the board. Some systems are also able to inspect the paste print before soldering. Thus manufacturing faults such as wrong inserted, missing, shifted or wrong components can be found.

Desktop AOI systems are standalone solutions which are not integrated in an automatic manufacturing line. The boards are loaded and unloaded manually. This type of system is intended to be used for testing boards in small volumes, for NPI (new product introduction) or in manufacturing lines with a high product mix.

This is already the third product focus on All-about-Test, and others will follow. The information provided should enable our readers to get a quick market, product, and supplier overview on a certain product category.  It allows a first pre-selection of suitable products and provides all contact addresses of the respective providers. It therefore saves a lot of time and effort which would be otherwise be necessary to do such a market overview prior to an investment.
