What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

In-line AOI machines perform non-contact optical inspection of assemblies directly within a production line, enabling real-time defect detection without removing the product from the process flow.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An in-line AOI system uses a combination of specialized lighting and high-resolution cameras to capture images of the assembled product. The captured images are compared against a reference image or design data to identify defects such as missing components, misalignment, solder faults, or polarity errors.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The position after soldering allows the system to catch defects that may be introduced during component placement or reflow. Downstream processes, such as functional testing or final assembly, can then proceed with greater confidence in board quality.
