HCD decides on AOI System from GOEPEL electronic
British contract electronics manufacturing company Holmes Circuit Designs
Ltd (HCD) has added an AOI system for the inspection of mounted PCBs. The
company decided in favour of the technologically-leading company GOEPEL
electronics and its OptiCon BasicLine 1M AOI system with the latest
Chameleon 360° angled view camera.
HCD found that GOEPEL
electronic’s OptiCon BasicLine AOI system is an extremely effective tool
in the production process as a stand-alone solution for SMD and THT
inspection. Time and cost savings, as well as an increased quality were
viewed as cornerstones of competitiveness, all achievable with the new
inspection system. The simple test program creation and extraordinary
flexibility were additional critical points during the AOI system
selection process in which GOEPEL electronic’s OptiCon BasicLine delivered
the best results.
“The OptiCon BasicLine AOI system provided a
solution that met all the criteria of HCD including 01005, system
versatility and especially lifted lead detection with the Chameleon 360°
angled view camera”, said Richard Ainley, sales specialist for GOEPEL
electronics.
Carol Holmes, Director for HCD said: “This is a key
investment for HCD and will support our high technology capabilities in
line with our philosophy of right first time. We looked at various
machines available and decided on the GOEPEL electronics machine due to
its High Quality, Speed and Technical Capabilities. We have had a very
strong year and continue to invest in leading technology to ensure we can
delivery the latest product with the highest quality.”
