Automated inspection and processing equipment for the electronics
manufacturing industry
Equipment Composition and Functionality
This is an automated inspection and handling equipment suite for
the electronics manufacturing industry, comprising core modules
including a dual-track board collector, 0.5 dual-track sorter, AOI
(automated optical inspection equipment), and 0.5 dual-track
transfer station. It is primarily deployed within SMT (surface
mount technology) production lines for the inspection and sorting
of PCBs (printed circuit boards).
Dual-track board collector: Responsible for sorting and collecting
post-inspection PCBs, enabling automated material retrieval to
enhance production efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
0.5 dual-track sorter: Capable of screening and sorting PCBs based
on inspection results into distinct categories such as pass, repair
required, or scrap, ensuring consistent product quality.
AOI (Automated Optical Inspection Equipment): Utilises optical
imaging technology to perform high-precision inspection of
component placement, solder joint quality, and circuit defects on
PCBs. Capable of rapidly identifying issues such as cold solder
joints, missed solder joints, component misalignment, and polarity
errors, it serves as a critical device for ensuring SMT process
quality.
0.5 Dual-track Transfer Station: Serves as an inter-equipment
connector and buffer, ensuring smooth and orderly PCB transfer
between devices to maintain production line continuity.
This integrated system significantly enhances PCB inspection
efficiency and quality stability through automated testing and
conveyance, reducing labour costs and misjudgement rates. It is
widely applicable across SMT production stages in electronics
manufacturing enterprises.
