Optical Inspection of Printed Circuits: Requirements Placed on AOI in the Manufacturing Process

Abstract

Both the need for the introduction of automated optical inspection (AOI) systems in the PCB manufacturing process and the requirements, technically and on economic grounds, placed on such equipment are discussed in detail. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the description of commonly used AOI concepts. The paper ends with a check list containing the most important questions concerning any system's capabilities.
