AOI module with revolutionary help for THT meeting stations

Multi Line Help simplifies the THT meeting course of and recognises meeting errors in actual time

Regardless of automation, the meeting of PCBs with elements continues to be partly handbook work. Small batches and customised board designs require handbook expertise, particularly for THT elements. So as to have the ability to work rapidly and error-free, GOEPEL digital has developed the Multi Line Help, an AOI module that guides the operator via the meeting course of and checks whether or not the work was carried out appropriately after every meeting. The totally automated workstation guides the operator step-by-step via the location course of. For this goal, placement data is projected instantly into the operator’s visual field on the location desk. After every particular person placement, the result’s checked in actual time, errors are recognised instantly and may be corrected in good time earlier than soldering. The built-in PILOT software program recognises and stories deviations throughout placement and signifies the error to the operator by way of a projected marking instantly on the meeting.

The Multi Line Help is supplied with a strong AOI module with a 47 megapixel picture seize unit and a versatile LED lighting system. This ensures the very best picture high quality and element decision with an inspection space of as much as 660 mm x 450 mm. Three decision variants with three completely different picture discipline sizes can be found. The digital camera module is ready to safely and reliably examine the presence, place and color of THT elements. As well as, labelled or lasered 2D codes or barcodes may be learn and texts recognised. The mix of a guided placement course of and dwell inspection after every placement ensures skilled THT meeting high quality. An inspection velocity of as much as 800 cm²/s is achieved. The complete PCB may be inspected with a single ‘snap’.

A strong laser projector has been built-in into the Multi Line Help for guided placement help. This makes it doable to intuitively help the handbook course of by displaying placement data (chute/field, place, element kind) instantly within the operator’s visual field. This prevents placement errors and achieves reproducible outcomes, even with a big number of merchandise. Along with displaying data in the course of the placement course of, detected errors are displayed instantly on the meeting by laser. This is a bonus if there’s a giant number of merchandise or if new or altering personnel usually have to be educated. Throughout inspection, the Multi Line Help checks high quality components such because the presence of elements, right positioning of elements and connectors, polarity, labelling (OCR), place and defect detection and completeness.

A foot change is used to begin a brand new inspection or repeat the ultimate inspection for optimum ease of use within the meeting course of. Multi Line Help can be built-in into acquainted, current meeting tables as an integration module. As an choice, GOEPEL digital additionally presents a height-adjustable placement desk with PCB or product provider holder and built-in Multi Line Help module. Multi Line Help may be built-in into current MES techniques and traceability options for seamless traceability and logging of the check course of.

Multi Line Help is a part of the brand new Multi Line product household from GOEPEL digital. With these techniques, the producer supplies a platform of inspection techniques that help the whole manufacturing course of. Along with the modular {hardware}, the Multi Line sequence is characterised by standardised, highly effective working and analysis software program for all functions and throughout all gadgets. This reduces coaching and programming prices, enabling versatile and optimised worker scheduling.
