Citing its reputation for world-class customer service and support, Samsung Electronics Mechatronics Center, Suwon City, Korea, has given ASC International sales and service responsibilities for its line of FARA-VSS Series automatic optical inspection (AOI) equipment in the North America.
Founded in 1992, ASC International has grown to become a leading supplier of AOI for 3D solder paste measurement.
The company's products are recognized for providing superior, cost effective measurement capability.
"The Samsung brand name has a reputation for providing reliable, feature-rich products at affordable prices", states Jon Arneson, President of ASC International.
"Samsung's AOI products are no exception, and align very nicely with ASC's product strategy.
Samsung provides a total solution for SMT inspection with post-paste, pre- and post- reflow inspection systems and have been very successful in Asia and Europe.
We think the timing is right for North America, given the recent market turnaround".
At APEX 2004 in Anaheim, California (24th-26th February) on booth 1987 ASC will introduce Samsung's latest model, the VSS-3EL to the North American Market.
The colour camera-based system provides both high-speed and high-resolution with the capability of inspecting 0201s, and at a price significantly less than comparable AOI systems.
In addition, options such as SmartRepair (Repair Software), SmartStats (SPC Software) and SmartManager (Line Monitoring Software) help to take the guesswork out of inspection data interpretation.
