New AOI system at Axxeron Hesch (www.industrial-production.de)
Detect errors in the production of printed circuit boards at an early stage
With the Verispector from Marantz electronics, Axxeron Hesch electronics is investing in Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) of THT (manually) assembled PCBs in its production facility in Neustadt. The major advantage of AOI is that defects can be detected early on the PCBs before they are fed through the solder wave.
