SMT Production line first article inspection system (FAI-700)

Powerful First Article Inspection System offering unparalleled automated manufacturing verification

The FAI-700 First Article Inspection System quickly and accurately verify First Article Samples. Using advanced optical and computing techniques, the FAI-700 measures properties of an initial sample against the specifications. Tests conducted include checking whether a correct component has been used, whether a component is in the defined location, and whether a component is positioned accurately. The values of components such as resisters, capacitors and inductors can be automatically checked and verified. The system can eliminate up to 99.99% errors due to manual inspection methods. Test results are provided in insightful, detailed reports.

Save Labor Cost

With traditional methods and approaches, the first inspection process typically requires at least two operators to perform the task. With the FAI-700, only one operator is required.

Save Time

Reduce the time it takes to perform first article inspections by up to 80%.

Improve Quality

Eliminate up to 99.99% of errors caused by manual methods.

First Article Inspection Report

Comprehensive reporting including pass/fail information, observed values, and insightful charts and graphs. Reports can be viewed, printed, saved or emailed.

Easy to use

Intuitive and easy to use.  FAI-700 operators can to learn to use the FAI-700 in under two days.

Multiple Customer Deployments

FAI-700 systems are deployed at hundreds of customer sites. Representative customers include Benchmark, Celestica, VALEO,VIVO.

Features

Programming

Auto generate a test program in under 5 minutes.

Auto check

For components without markings, a built-in LCR meter can perform test measurements for inductance, capaci-tance and resistance; the FAI-700 automatically changes the test frequency based on BOM information.

Auto optical inspection and”Golden Board”

For components with silk screening, the FAI-700 system checks all comp-onents in under a minute.

Detailed Search

Report data can be viewed and sorted in a number of different ways.  For example, components can be sorted according to whether they have passed or failed a test, or by their part numbers.

Report

Each report includes the company's name, test time, operator's name, model number, total number of components, how many components passed and failed. The measured values of all components and their nominal values are also shown.  Reports can be viewed, printed, saved or emailed to customers.
