Spectra-Tech Partners with MIRTEC for High-Quality Inspection
By Allyn Shunk T
o keep their competitive edge, EMS firms must constantly in- vest in state-of-the-art equip-
ment. But, the capabilities of the ma- chine, the cost and its intended use must all balance each other in order to keep production running and make transitioning to a new system as efficient as possible. Spectra-Tech, an EMS company
based in Batavia, Ohio, recently ac- quired five new MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI systems, as a part of its commitment to continuous quality improvement. Founded in 1998, the company’s core employees have a sig- nificant amount of experience in PCB manufacturing. This expertise pro- vides its customers the insight to re- solve manufacturability issues and create solutions that result in low
costs and high-quality products. Spectra-Tech prides itself on a
team with a “do what it takes” atti- tude to deliver each product on time to a satisfied customer, starting with assigning a program manager to each new order. The program manag- er is responsible for interfacing with the customer and helping them to customize specific needs for their in- dividual product lines by tracking costs, schedules and deliveries daily. Changes are managed with timely communication, documentation and by being highly responsive to all cus- tomer requirements.
Selecting an AOI Vendor Craig Wilson, vice president of
Spectra-Tech, says, “After evaluating several leading 3D AOI vendors, we
selected MIRTEC as the best solu- tion to meet our ongoing quality ini- tiatives.” “At MIRTEC we believe in qual-
ity, and Spectra-Tech’s quality stan- dards are some of the highest I’ve ever seen,” adds Brian D’Amico, pres- ident of MIRTEC’s North American sales and service division. “We are extremely pleased to partner with Spectra-Tech and are equal- ly committed to their goal of con- tinuous quality improvement. We look forward to a long and pros- perous relationship between our two organizations.” MIRTEC’s award-winning
MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI machines are configured with the compa- ny’s exclusive OMNI-VISION® 3D in- spection system, which combines 15 MP CoaXPress camera technology with the company’s digital, multi-fre- quency, quad-moiré 3D system. The machines are designed to provide precise height measurement to de- tect lifted component and lifted lead defects, as well as 3D solder fillet in- spection post-reflow. Fully config- ured, these systems include four 10 MP side-view cameras in addition to a 15 MP CoaXPress top-down cam- era, as well as an eight-phase color lighting system. “Our MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI AOI
machines have performed extremely well,” continues Wilson. “The defect detection capability has proven to be outstanding for both SMT and through-hole inspection. We are equally pleased with the level of cus- tomer service and after sales sup- port. Any questions or issues we have had were handled both quickly and efficiently.”
Continuous Improvement The sale of the MIRTEC ma-
chines was facilitated by Fred Binggeli of The Murray Percival Company, which represents MIRTEC in the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and the western Pennsylva- nia region. Murray Percival Company is a
third-generation family-owned busi- ness that was founded in 1960 and will celebrate its 60th year in 2020. Customers and peers alike attribute the company’s longevity to its in- tegrity and trustworthiness. Murray Percival is currently a leading sup- plier to the electronics industry in the midwestern U.S., offering thou- sands of capital and distribution products.
Spectra-Tech uses only ERP-
and ISO-certified quality systems to deliver the highest possible quality products at the lowest cost. Whether prototypes, mixed assemblies, low or high volumes, the company is ready to take on the challenge. Its ISO-cer- tified processes include qualification

of suppliers, incoming and in-process inspections, AOI, planned mainte- nance, failure analysis, and IPC-cer- tified personnel. Committed to continuous im-
provement, the company has devel- oped a quality management system that provides the framework for measuring and improving its per- formance. To boost customer satisfac- tion and to continue improving, the following systems are in place: peri- odic audits of internal processes; IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 training and development of employees; selec- tion and monitoring of suppliers; measurable quality objectives; man- agement reviews of quality objec- tives; and customer satisfaction re- views.
MIRTEC is also focused on
quality at its core. Its business phi- losophy: to provide customers with the highest quality products and services at competitive pricing. “We understand that electronics manu- facturers are becoming ever more se- lective in purchasing equipment that will add value to their business and provide them with a much needed edge in this highly competitive in- dustry,” says D’Amico. “With this in mind, an increasing number of man- ufacturers are relying upon 3D auto- mated inspection equipment to help increase profitability by improving production yields and reducing costly
rework.” Contact: Spectra-Tech Manufac-
