1. In the SMT industry, AOI inspection is indispensable. But what exactly is AOI testing? AOI stands for Automatic Optical Inspection. This cutting-edge technology has gained prominence only in recent years, offering capabilities such as automated patrolling, instant alerts, anomaly displays, and full automation. Let’s delve into the principles and advantages of AOI detection in SMT.

2. Principle: AOI testing utilizes optical principles to scan the PCB using cameras integrated into the device. It captures images, compares them with qualified data stored in the machine’s database, and, after image processing, assesses the soldering status of the PCB.

3. With electronic products shrinking in size and PCB circuitry growing more intricate, manual inspection of PCBs is becoming increasingly challenging. Manual inspection is slower compared to machine-based methods and is susceptible to eye fatigue and oversights. To enhance efficiency, AOI technology demonstrates its superiority.

4. The advantages of AOI are manifold:

5. Despite the significant advantages AOI detection offers over manual inspection, it is not without limitations. Technical blind spots may occur, leading to misjudgments. In such cases, manual intervention is necessary to ensure product quality.
