The Critical Role of Innovation in Meeting Future Inspection Demands
By Jesper Lykke, CEO, Viscom, Inc.
grown from a pioneer in the field of industrial image processing to a market leader, with a staff of about 500 employees today. Its focus is high-quality inspection systems (3D AOI), solder paste inspection (3D SPI), as well as X-ray inspection for manual or inline operation (3D MXI and 3D AXI). In the field of real-3D technolo-
V
gy and 100 percent defect detection of solder joints, SMT, THT, LED, or wirebonds, the company has become a leading supplier around the world. Viscom inspection systems are used in virtually every branch of the elec- tronics industry, from automotive electronics to the semiconductor in- dustry.
Critical Service and Support Viscom is an innovative and or-
ganically growing company. The company’s culture is that of an in- quiring mind, pioneering approach and a family atmosphere. A large part of the team in Viscom Americas has been with the company for a long time. This reflects to the outside as the customer receives a warm wel-
iscom has successfully market- ed its inspection solutions since 1984. The company has
come, customized solutions based on forward-looking technologies and great service. A large part of the company’s
success is based on its service team. Viscom’s customers make a long- term decision on a high-quality prod- uct, and its service team keeps the machines running all the time. This is done through maintenance work, free-of-charge software releases and spare parts supply. Additionally, Viscom’s techni-
cians help to optimize first-pass yield performance. Customers worldwide frequently ask for upgrades or retro- fits to keep their systems updated and able to meet current require- ments. This results in a high level of customer satisfaction. Viscom also had a superb show-
ing at this year’s IPC APEX Expo. People are recognizing that Viscom is playing a main role in the market as an international technology leader. The company offers one of the widest product portfolios, covering the high- est inspection demands in electronics manufacturing. For instance, Viscom’s extreme-
ly fast 3D X-ray inspection system, X7056-II, offers superb image quali- ty. The combination of automatic op-
tical and X-ray inspection in one sys- tem has been awarded five times, since it has been on the market. Vis- com has proven its ability to be inno- vative in the most important interna- tional markets, including the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Asia. The X7056-II is operated with
the extremely user-friendly vVision software and offers outstanding con- nectivity options within quality as-
SPI through AOI and up to AXI. The verification station is also
included in the network. All Viscom inspection solutions support ma- chine-to-machine (M2M) communica- tion using the SMEMA protocol, as well as the Hermes Standard. Vis- com is also a partner with CFX — the connected factory exchange initia- tive, which collects machine data along the entire SMT line and

Industry 4.0 The goal of the networked Vis-

first-pass yield for for customers. Combined with 2D and 2.5D, 3D helps the Viscom machines to recog- nize the component types, making programming very fast and easy for the operator. From fully fledged, realistic
360° views of solder joints and com- ponents to informative, layered X- ray images of highly complex elec- tronics, Viscom is harnessing the ad- vantages of 3D in an extremely tar- geted manner.
Preparing for the Future Viscom is leading some of the

discussions around artificial intelli- gence (AI). The goal is to support the human judgment of machine opera- tors on whether components and sol- der joints designated as possibly de- fective in the automatic inspection process actually fulfill all quality cri- teria.
Deep learning will play a pro-
gressively more important role in Viscom’s program creation and com- ponent assignment, making it in- creasingly possible to recognize new product introduction (NPI) compo- nents fully automatically. Finally, we know that there will
be significant changes as a result of new markets and technologies. E- mobility, further connectivity, auto- mated vehicles, and 5G technology are the megatrends of the near fu- ture. To be prepared for these, Vis- com is bringing together all of its ex- perts in R&D, construction, manu- facturing, and software development in order to set new standards and re-
main at the forefront of innovation. Contact: Viscom Inc., 1775
