3D SPI Inspection Machine for PCB
Model Inepx 510
3D SPI Machine provides high-precision, high-speed inspection of solder paste deposits using 3D PMP measurement technology. It measures solder paste height, volume, area, XY offset, and shape for reliable SMT process control.
Overview
3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Machine uses Programmable Structured Light Modulation Phase Modulation Profilometry (PMP) to perform precise three-dimensional solder paste measurement while maintaining high inspection speed. It supports multiple inspection resolutions to accommodate different PCB and production requirements.
Phase Modulation Profilometry Technology (PMP)
Achieve three-dimensional measurement of solder paste for precision printing. It may greatly improve measurement accuracy while ensuring high-speed inspection.

RGB Tune Active Three-color 2D Lighting Source
Patented RGB function combines with independent shootings of red, green, and blue images, and a distinctive color filtering algorithm. It solves problems such as bridging misjudgment and uncertainty of relative basis surface, and ensures the supply of 2D/3D inspection results and color solder paste images. The RGB debugging versatility for PCBs of different colors enhances equipment repeatability accuracy (height, volume, and area).

Data Integration Function of SPI Pre & Post AOI
Our SPI may integrate data from different inspection equipment on SMT production lines, such as Pre-reflow AOI, and Post-reflow AOI, to build a whole closed-loop quality control system and synchronize data in quality control systems like ERP.

MES Intelligent Manufacturing Access Capability
We developed a variety of data format ports and utilized the SPI system to upload data into the client MES system in a simple, fast, and accurate way.

GERBER module importing and Friendly Programming UI
Engineers of any level can program independently, quickly, and accurately. The one-click operation designed for operators also greatly reduces training stress.

Powerful SPC
Real-time SPC information display provides strong quality control support for operators. Moreover, complete and diverse SPC tools enable them to be clear and support data output of different formats.
