New optics boost image quality

The optical improvements in the PowerSpector AOI system provide faster inspection, faster programming and better defect detection.

Marantz Europe has released the PowerSpector AOI system, adding fully re-engineered optics, including a custom image sensor and new lenses and lighting technology.

Analysis from any AOI system can only be as good as the quality of the image captured.

PowerSpector's optics provides high-resolution image data captured and processed in full 24bit colour.

The optical improvements provide faster inspection, faster programming and better defect detection.

The system offers a DOAL line light source for improved image contrast and signal dynamics, a multi-angle lighting system with a meniscus profiler and a 70% larger field of view (FoV).

In all, this delivers a 25% increase in speed.

The meniscus profiler works with the system's new multi-angle lighting to analyse detailed 24bit colour data for powerful solder joint integrity validation.

In comparison to systems using monochrome analysis, 24bit colour imaging delivers superior performance in the identification of defects on gold or copper-plated boards.

Marantz' synthetic imaging algorithms deliver a balance between defect detection and false rejects.

On PowerSpector, these algorithms have been augmented with new spectral analysis algorithms.
