AOI: The Increasing Role of Value-Added Solutions Continued from previous page


entry-level systems along with a host of useful options that can be added to perfectly match user requirements. Software is designed to be compati- ble with all systems within a product family, enabling flexible upgrading/migration from one system to another. Multiple initiative programs are underway to further simplify programming, make it easier to deploy and use, and to reduce overall programming time.


Continuous Refinement The company believes in continually refining


its systems to synchronize with changing require- ments while exploring options that enable value- added inspection throughout the electronics assembly process. To achieve this, the company lis- tens to what customers want through an active, established roadmap and VOC process, and aligns its release plan to sync with customer requirements. Global customer support is one


of the company’s top priorities, main- tained by its worldwide network of channel partners at 72 locations in 35 countries. To support this, an effective issue management system managed by a global product special- ist team has been established to log, review, track and resolve issues.


Global Customer Base A strong global presence also is


important to the company. As a result, it works hard to continuously expand its global customer base and provide key advantages to customers, both existing and potential. CyberOptics has designed a


hassle-free upgrade path for existing customers who wish to upgrade to its latest product offerings. Existing SPI customers will be able to upgrade to the SE500ULTRA system with 30 percent speed improvement and optional dual illumination sensor. For AOI customers, the QX600 upgrade option with improved light- ing and higher resolution sensor is an excellent choice for 01005 inspec- tion. Existing customers also can choose to only upgrade their software to take advantage of the latest fea- tures. The QX600-L large board (20 x 20-in./508 x 508mm) version and the SE600 equipped with a dual illumi- nation sensor and an all-new user experience will be available in 2013. Continuous user experience


enhancement is crucial for the suc- cess of a product and programming forms a significant part of the overall user experience spectrum. The com- pany’s key initiative programs focus on keeping programming simple and easy to learn and use while reducing the time it takes to complete a pro-

gram. The SAM (Statistical Appearance Modeling) vision tech- nology offers incredibly simple pro- gramming with no algorithms to choose or lighting parameters to be set up.


Programming is as simple as it


can get; just draw a box, train SAM with a few good examples and it is ready to inspect any component, sol- der joint or other features. With AI2 (Autonomous Image Interpretation), next-generation image analysis tech-

nique, programming gets even faster, with a 90 percent reduction in examples. It provides simpler semiautomatic model training with full support so that users can set up models effortlessly. AI2 also improves inspection performance with better sen- sitivity to defects, resulting in more precise dis- crimination even with excessive variance. ePM- SPI/AOI, another key programming initiative from CyberOptics, enables program setup in a flash with its one-step programming approach that can generate both SPI and AOI programs at one go.


SPI/AOI Sensors The sensors on the company’s SPI and AOI


systems are designed and built by CyberOptics and are engineered to be absolutely calibration-free. The Strobed Inspec tion Module (SIM) mounted on its
