SimmScope SOI is a semi-automatic PCB optical inspection and image archiving system for printed circuit board assemblies (PCB or PCBA). It significantly increases the speed and accuracy of manual visual inspections at a fraction of the price of an AOI. It is currently being used in aerospace and military applications where 100% inspection and tracebility is required. It is a multi-purpose tool that can be used for PCB First Article Inspection as well as low volume inspections of SMT and THT.

It is ideal for:

PCB First Article Inspection (FAI)
Assembly Line Auditing
Low Volume 100% Inspection
Image Capture and Archiving of Critical Inspection Areas
Applications where Traceability is Required
Aerospace and Military Applications

Description:

The system automatically moves the digital microscope to the inspection point.
The system automatically digitally zooms to the inspection location and masks out any unwanted background.
A Golden Board image is displayed next to the live image for visual comparison.
The images are automatically captured and stored as part of the post inspection report.
The operator compares the live image to the Golden Board Image and either passes of fails it.
The system can be manually programmed or can import Gerber files and X-Y lists.

Specifications (subject to change):

1.3 MP Camera. Manually adjustable magnification of 20x to 90x. Lighting is 8 white LEDs.
Polarizing can be switched on/off or adjusted for full or half polarization.
Working Distance is adjustable between approximately 2" to 6" above the board.
At 3.25" above the board, the magnification is 40x with a field of view of 0.4", 3200 dpi.
At 2": 90x, FOV 0.17", 7400 dpi. At 6": 20x, FOV .8", 1600 dpi.
Board Size: 11.5" x 11.5", optionally up to 17.5" x 17.5"
