Mek Europe BV's automated Solder Paste Inspection system - the Model S1 mkII - features second generation sensor technology that enables simultaneous 2D and 3D inspection.
The resultant high speed 5D technology measures beyond the bounds of apertures with 2D/3D comparative analysis that can determine slump and release defects. The newly re-engineered inspection head has improved 2D image capture providing enhanced accuracy and repeatability surpassing all existing systems, especially important for the thinner stencils and smaller component pads of tomorrow.
The S1 mkII is capable of defect detection beyond anything previously possible, because it incorporates patented sensor technology that can simultaneously combine 2D and 3D image processing.
The new technology allows a vast reduction of wide inspection tolerances, typical of most SPI systems.
True area, shape, volume, offset and height measurements are provided in combination, providing genuine yield enhancing process control and a perfect tool to tune and monitor printer settings before a problem spreads throughout an entire production run.
