3D Automated Optical Inspection
Systems

3D-AOI

Fully compatible with both SMT and through-hole processes, the 3D-AOI meets all quality requirements for complex inspection targets, such as high-density printed circuit boards and boards housing a mix of both extremely small and tall components. The camera resolution and lighting are customizable to provide the flexibility to suit any production environment or product range.

01

High-Resolution

  • Quality high-definition images clearly depict the smallest components
  • Achieves total inspection – from extremely small-sized parts to the tallest components 

High-definition images presenting minute parts and high-density PCBs in stunning clarity

Able to accurately inspect a range of parts with extremely clear imagery, the 3D-AOI inspects 0402mm and 0201mm components, as well as detailing narrow pitch IC and narrow pad parts.

Conventional AOI

Achieving the impossible – high-resolution imagery with an expanded height measurement range

The 3D-AOI maintains high resolution while expanding the height measurement range, achieving comprehensive inspection of both extremely small-sized and tall components. The height measurement range is up to 25mm with the resolution 8µm / 15µm camera alone, and can be expanded to 40mm when combined with the Z-axis option.

02

Fastest in the Industry

  • Performs inspections at the quickest speed possible
  • Stress-free, high-speed image data processing

Unparalleled AOI cycle times with both 8µm and 15µm resolution cameras

Enjoy speeds of 4,500mm²/sec with the 8µm camera and 7,000mm²/sec with the 15µm camera.
With the ability to handle components as small as 0402mm, the 15µm camera is ideal for high-volume products and those where speed is essential.

Combined capturing and inspection time totals with A5-size sample (150mm x 214mm)(inspection time may vary depending on sample condition)

High-speed image data processing

Imaging, image data processing, and inspection are all performed in parallel – resulting in near-zero wait times.
Hardware operation and image processing are fully optimized thanks to the in-house development of customized software.

03

Scalability

  • Multiple options available, including: dome lighting, side camera, Z-axis
  • Camera resolution can be switched on-site

Upgradeable options enable a variety of board inspections with a single inspection machine

Upgrades enable continuous up-to-date performance and a wider range of inspection use from a sole unit.

Dome Lighting

Solder shape inspection​​

Side Cameras

Solder inspection of back-side electrode parts and connector parts; bridge inspection

Z-Axis

Inspection of tall components; inspection of boards with a mixture of small and tall components; inspection of solder close to the board surface

On-site switching of camera resolution

Both resolution and speed can be switched according to the inspection target and production requirements.
Changeover can be completed in less than 90 minutes – including on-site calibration.

Optimal Functions for Each Process

SMT

  • M2M co-operation with pick-and-place machine
  • Saki’s Total Lineup Solution

Backend

  • Insertion Inspection Solution
  • Back-side solder inspection solution

M2M Co-Operation with Pick-and-Place Machine

Saki AOI machines are developed for M2M communication with all major surface mount machine manufacturers.
The AOI provides feedback to the surface mount machine regarding the mounting position, greatly strengthening quality assurance.

Placement Position Correction

Saki’s Total Lineup Solution

Saki’s 3D-AOI uses a common platform with 3D-SPI and 3D-CT-AXI.
The process is consistent throughout – from post-printing solder inspection using SPI, through to the inspection of mounted components.

Insertion Inspection Solution

Saki provides a wide range of inspection solutions suitable for tall inserted components, such as character and polarity inspection of tall parts, and simultaneous measurement of the solder on the board and the height of tall parts. (With Z-axis option)

Simultaneous Height Measurement of Solder Surface and Tall

Back-Side Solder Inspection Solution

The 3D-AOI automates solder inspection, supporting flow, dip, and selective soldering.
Automation guarantees a more consistent quality than visual inspection, improving the solder inspection process and saving on labor.

THT solder inspection algorithm

Using 3D information, one algorithm covers all the necessary inspection items such as pin height, solder fillet height, and bridge inspection.

Extra Component Detection (ECD) doesn’t miss any fallen objects or surplus parts

By generating statistical sample data from approximately ten defect-free images, defects such as unexpected surplus parts, solder balls, and dust in the board can be automatically detected. Even without prepared samples, defects such as solder balls can be detected using design data and threshold information.
