spection (AOI). Electronic Design & Manufactur- ing (EDM), recently added a Nordson YESTECH FX-940 ULTRA 3D AOI system to its production facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, allowing the com- pany to diagnose more challenging PCB faults. Since 1990, EDM has offered PCB design and

production services, backed by a high level of tech- nical support and customer service. Founder Robert Roberts sought to create a company that truly cared for its employees, while operating eth- ically. These guiding principles have contributed significantly to the company’s success. EDM is a 100 percent employee-owned com-

Equipment Partners Crucial EDM maintains a strong financial position
and strives to provide the best services to cus-
tomers, keeping a large material inventory to sup- port changing customer needs, investing in the most-qualified personnel, and purchasing cutting- edge equipment. Customers trust that the company has the re-
sources to stand behind its commitments to them and to minimize their risk. To meet this goal, EDM partners with manufacturers who provide the most advanced technology. Years ago, the compa- ny purchased a Nordson YESTECH 2D AOI sys- tem. Since then, the partnership has flourished. When EDM needed 3D AOI capability, the compa- ny again turned to Nordson YESTECH, obtaining an FX-940 ULTRA. Earlier this year, the system was set up on
EDM’s production floor, with successful installa- tion and training. Training is vital for any AOI platform and even more so with the multitude of added 3D capabilities, which was the reason for the purchase of the ULTRA. “Adding 3D inspection to our AOI arsenal al-
lows us to quickly inspect for coplanarity of chips, lead banks, and BGAs,” says Dave McAden, EDM’s CTO and VP of sales. “Also, we can now verify the volume and slope of every solder joint, which can provide more accurate data to help maximize yield. As part sizes continue to shrink, we are committed to consistently providing our customers with cutting- edge technology to meet their changing needs.”
