Inline AOI System for XXL PCBs

21 June 2013 – SAKI introduced the new BF-10Z Automated Optical Inspection System. Based on SAKI’s unique Line Scan Technology it allows the inspection of PCB panels up to 686 x 870 mm (27.01” x 34.25”) – a 40% increase in scanning area over SAKI’s previous XXL model. The BF-10Z is ideal for manufacturers building oversized products like communication base stations, server & storage assemblies and LED back panels.

For manufacturers building XXL assemblies with ultra-small components like 01005s or 0.015” pitch ICs, SAKI has equipped the new BF-10Z with a powerful 10 µm resolution scanning mode for accurate inspection of the micro-sized features of these devices. When operating in 10µm resolution scanning mode, the BF-10Z can still inspect a maximum-size panel in 63 seconds. Now users can select between either resolution operating modes, choosing the one that best matches their accuracy needs with their throughput needs.

With the BF-10Z, SAKI incorporates an innovative scanning method called “Multi-threading”. This enables BF-10Z to inspect XXL-size panels within its compact body, requiring the smallest production floor space of any system in its class.
