OptiCon SmartLine Now With Extended Inspection Area
September 8, 2009
GOEPEL electronic's desktop AOI system OptiCon SmartLine is now able to inspect PCBs up to a maximum board size of 400mm X 390mm. The extension has not affected the compact system design and the complete PC integration has been retained. Therefore the simple transportability still allows the flexible and mobile utilisation throughout the production process.
The OptiCon SmartLine is designed as desktop system for small volume manufacturing to be used as an offline test station or repair station. At OptiCon SmartLine's core lies the OptiCon systems' well-proven camera-based imaging unit featuring custom telecentric lens as well as a flexible illumination concept of different colours and directions. All common inspection tasks for PCBs can be reliably undertaken with the system.
OptiCon SmartLine is a space saving desktop solution because the PC is completely integrated into the main chassis, thus only monitor and keyboard need be connected to work with the system. For this reason, it can be utilised at a wide range of positions in the production process.
Based on the innovative Extended Colour Technology, the camera enables high-contrast recordings as well as high-resolution colour images. They are available for colour test tasks (e.g. colour code verification) and colour representation of detected faults at the repair station.
Extended Colour Technology is available for all OptiCon AOI systems, and can be upgraded in existing installations.
