3D AOI Added to the Line: MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI
By April 2023, Kodiak had added a MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI system to its Austin floor, and the system was fully operational.
3D automated optical inspection, or 3D AOI, measures components and solder joints in three dimensions rather than from a flat image, so it can check component height, lifted leads and solder fillets that a 2D image cannot measure, according to MIRTEC’s MV-6 OMNI datasheet.
The MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI pairs a 15 megapixel top-down camera with MIRTEC’s OMNI-VISION 3D Moiré inspection, and it inspects components as small as 01005, according to the same datasheet. The system increases Kodiak’s inspection capabilities, shortens inspection times and improves overall product quality.
John Kampfer, Kodiak’s President, described the purchase as part of Kodiak’s continuing investment in quality control for its customers.
The new system runs alongside the rest of Kodiak’s in-house testing: 2D X-ray, flying probe, and functional testing.
