Best in Class AOI
The sj5000 is the latest evolution in Automated Optical
Inspection (AOI) technology for the electronics manufacturing
industry.
The sj5000 has been designed as a truly flexible 'best-in-class'
AOI solution, to measure and characterize components at
multiple positions along the SMT manufacturing line. it can be
configured for Solder Joint Analysis (post-reflow).
Measurement Performance
The sj5000 delivers industry recognized best-in-class
measurement performance. Using high resolution imaging
hardware and precision XY gantry, the sj5000 simultaneously
delivers fast inspection speeds and full 01005 component
inspection capability.
Fault Coverage
The sj5000 deploys MonoColour, Agilent's unique sequential
color imaging technique. This technology allows the AOI system
to build a color image by combining a sequence of monochrome
images of the PCB when illuminated with light of different red,
green and blue colors.
MonoColour allows the AOI system to benefit from the power of
full color image processing, while utilizing the highest
resolution and highest speed monochrome camera technology.
It delivers full color RGB images, which allows for greater
differentiation of components from substrate, than with black
and white systems.
Agilent's MonoColour technology allows the sj5000 to easily
distinguish SMT component features by unlocking the full range
of color depth that is available to the human eye.
In addition to color technology, the sj5000 deploys an innovative
domed lighting head consisting of light emitting diodes (LEDs)
from multiple angles. This allows pseudo three-dimensional
information to be extracted from solder joints. Color 3D joint
profiling is the most powerful technique used in the AOI
industry for solder joint inspection, and it provides the best
fault coverage.
