3. Assembly Complexity
 Complex Assembly up to 9 Printed circuit
boards
 20 Layer Printed Circuit Boards
 As high as 50,000 solder connections per board
 As high as 17,000 discrete components in the
assembly
 Very tight tolerances and clearance

4. Enterasys Innovation creates the Solution:
Mechanical Automated Optical Inspection
PAST Process Control
Electronic Assembly
Defect containment & rapid feedback
through Automated Optical Inspection and
Automated X-Ray Inspection
Mechanical assembly
Mechanical assembly has not benefited from
the high levels of automation already
achieved in electronic assembly
Problem
• Manual inspection is less reliable
• Customer satisfaction issues
• Costly escapes
Design and deployment of Mechanical AOI
System for Box Build Assembly
SOLUTION
• High resolution Cognex camera mounted
to a 6 axis articulated robot arm
• Programed to automatically inspect and
accept/reject assembly attributes
