Vision Engineering Microscopes Bolster Laritech Growth
New Milford, CT — Laritech, Inc., a California-based company specializ- ing in design services and PCB as- sembly, has recently invested in mi- croscope inspection systems from Vi- sion Engineering. The company now uses a Lynx EVO stereo inspection microscope to inspect PCBs during manufacturing. Each assembly is then checked with a Lynx Dynascope by a final inspector prior to leaving the facility. With over 15 years experience
designing and manufacturing em- bedded hardware and firmware and nearly 500 completed designs to

through to completion. At the core of this process is the underlying corpo- rate framework specifically designed by founder and design engineer, Bill Larrick. Recognizing the importance of
local investment in technology the company has worked to build com- prehensive PCB manufacturing ca- pabilities. These include placements from 0201 to 2in (51mm) BGAs with pick-and-place accuracies to 38µ, in an ISO-9000 controlled environment. The company also attributes suc-
cess in the production process to Vi- sion Engineering’s microscopes. Any modifications required, such as re- working, are completed while using the company’s stereo microscope. The Lynx EVO is ergonomically
designed and can be used from a comfortable distance. The stereo mi- croscope looks different than a tradi- tional microscope. It is optical, but the viewing area has no eyepiece. It’s equipped with a brilliant flat panel screen, which displays 3D images. As well as benefitting productivity, the microscope provides greater periph- eral vision, which helps with hand- eye coordination during rework. With strict guidelines on IPC di-

rectives for acceptability standards within the electronics industry, such as requirements for design and mate- rial, the company builds assemblies to IPC-A-610 Class 3 or higher. While manufacturing to these exact- ing standards, every opportunity to invest in tools and equipment is a welcomed increase in accuracy and productivity. Mr. Larrick explains, “The Lynx
EVO has allowed us to inspect med- ical device PCBs with more clarity than before. It has proven to be cru- cial in providing the consistent, high- quality product that the medical in- dustry demands.” Rigid and flex PCBs are one type
of PCB the company produces. In par- ticular, it is important that they are manufactured to the proper standards for medical device use. The company now uses a number of Mantis and Lynx EVO stereo inspection systems for its manufacturing and final in-
