Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is a cutting-edge technology used primarily in the electronics manufacturing industry to ensure the highest quality standards. AOI systems utilize advanced optics, high-resolution cameras, and sophisticated image processing algorithms to perform rapid and precise visual inspections of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. By detecting defects such as missing components, soldering errors, and alignment issues, AOI helps manufacturers maintain product integrity and reduce the risk of failures. This non-contact inspection method is essential for industries requiring high reliability, including automotive, consumer electronics, and medical devices. With AOI, manufacturers can achieve greater efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in their production processes.
The VisionPro Merlin XL AOI solution from ASC International builds upon the industry-leading Merlin with the addition of a larger platform to manage oversized boards. Accepting boards as large as 26″ x 22″. The Merlin XL meets the needs of those companies requiring large board capacity.
