QC100-EMS

The system measures and detects issues that could impact print quality, including clogged apertures and the presence of solder paste and debris. The use of high-precision stages and advanced image processing algorithms provide full inspection of aperture attributes, checking for presence, dimension, position and area.

At goods inwards inspection, the QC100-EMS performs a comprehensive stencil verification. It assigns test data to a stencil identifier for traceability and establishing a baseline for future comparisons.

The system boasts advanced capabilities in monitoring the lifespan of stencils based on usage. This enables proactive maintenance and replacement, anticipating and preventing printing issues causing production downtime and scrap.

The QC100-EMS can also measure PCBs against the original data, meticulously checking for any deviations in pad positioning. This generates Gerber data, adjusted to fit the PCB, enabling manufacture of the optimised stencil. This data can also be used downstream to improve process capability.

The system features a high-magnification telecentric lens, Renishaw 1-micron scales and Watt Laser’s proprietary inspection and measurement software.
