Increased minaturisation of devices coupled with the higher density of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and assemblies places huge demands on PCB inspectors, reworkers and all production area employees. Even R&D areas, where typically higher levels of inspection equipment are found it is becoming increasingly difficult to see the solder joint, let alone inspect or rework it.
Most existing inspection solutions will offer higher optical magnification, achieved by adding an additional “close-up lens” to the existing system. Whether this is a traditional microscope or a digital microscope when adding higher magnification lenses it will also reduce the working distance, making core tasks like soldering & rework much harder.
The challenge is to provide the inspector with ample space to handle the PCB whilst allowing rework/repair tools like soldering irons and desoldering guns, or test equipment to be introduced in to the working area.
The NEW F40s Digital Microscope from Inspectis provides exactly this solution and in an ergonomic, easy to use platform which will help the user concentrate for longer periods, increasing both the inspection speed and yield.
The F40s creates vivid Full HD video at 60 fps and low latency with fast auto-focusing and with 1-40 motorised zoom, provides up to x100 magnification with critically a 226mm working distance, more than enough space for any rework tools.
The F40s can be introduced into the electronics manufacturing facility in a wide range of formats to suit specific applications…
Typically for R&D, New Product Introduction and Quality Inspection areas the case for a higher specification of equipment allows for image capture software, additional magnification with improved lighting.
Bare board (Blank PCB) goods-in inspection prior to assembly, essential for high value critical builds
Small Parts, Critical Component and Sub-Assemblies Inspection at Goods-in.
The assembled (but not yet soldered) PCBA can be inspection prior to SMT Reflow (or any automated soldering process, vapour-phase, wave-solder/selective solder). Whether First Article, Batch or Full (100%) board inspection it’s much easier to fix issues before you solder them!
Choose from a simple articulated arm over the entrance conveyor, or an in-built, in-line X-Y axis for faster inspection.
Large working distance Full HD 1080i / 60 frames per second vivid video for lag-free live assembly and working.
The F40s offers a great solution for soldering, rework and repair applications, offering incredibly detailed and vivid images at high magnification.
