Agilent AOI system validates component placement
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2006
Agilent Technologies has announced it has successfully completed a study with Fuji Machine Manufacturing Co. to demonstrate the ability of Agilent's Medalist SJ50 automated optical inspection (AOI) system to validate the 01005 component-placement performance of Fuji pick-and-place equipment.
"Agilent is pleased to offer our leading-edge AOI solution to help Fuji verify its 01005 pick-and-place capability," said Kent Dinkel, AOI marketing manager at Agilent. "We will continue to introduce innovative imaging solutions to help our customers overcome new challenges brought on by ever-increasing needs for accuracy and repeatability as components become smaller and smaller," shrinking from 0402 down to 0201 and now 01005 chip sizes.
"In this collaborative study with Agilent to validate the placement performance of 01005 chip components, we were pleased that the Agilent Medalist SJ50 exceeded our measurement requirements in terms of accuracy and repeatability," said Sumio Kadomatsu, GM of the SMT Equipment Division at Fuji. www.agilent.com; www.fuji.co.jp.
