AZP Purchases YESTECH Benchtop AOI


Systems Carlsbad, CA — Nordson YESTECH has supplied AZP, Inc., with two BX benchtop AOI systems. Based in Mesa, Arizona, AZP is a private, woman-owned electronics contract manufacturer. The team at AZP conducted ex-


tensive evaluations on the BX bench- top AOI system, along with competi- tive equipment, before settling on the YESTECH system. Nordson YESTECH’s advanced,


5 MP color camera imaging technolo- gy offers benchtop PCB inspection and excellent defect coverage. The system inspects solder joints and ver- ifies correct part assembly, enabling AZP to improve quality and increase throughput. The optional four-side viewing cameras add additional in- spection capability, which is mainly found on in-line systems. The BX series is designed to be


effective for solder paste pre- and post-reflow inspection, as well as final assembly inspection. Remote programming maxi-


mizes machine use and real-time SPC (statistical process control) monitor- ing provides a valuable yield enhance- ment solution. Contact: Nordson YESTECH,
