With the M1 Series automated PCB inspection system, operators typically take less than 30 minutes to create a complete inspection program, its vendor reports. The M1 Series uses a standard package library to simplify training and ensure program portability across manufacturing lines.

Offering 3-Mpixel resolution and telecentric optics, the M1 Series inspects solder joints and verifies correct part assembly, all within a footprint that is less than 1 m wide. It provides the defect coverage and low false-call rate necessary to reduce costs, improve quality, and increase throughput in high-volume manufacturing environments. The system adapts to pre- or post-reflow inspection and supports rework and data-tracking requirements.
