VisionPro AP500
The most popular model in ASC International's VisionPro AP family — a sophisticated 3D solder paste measurement system in a rugged benchtop enclosure built for the production floor.
With only a few minutes of training, an operator can perform accurate 3D measurements of solder paste pads, BGAs, and PCB features. The VisionPro AP500's completely automatic measurement process eliminates operator errors and delivers excellent repeatability across every inspection cycle.
