What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Solder paste inspection systems are metrology and inspection tools used in electronics assembly to measure deposited solder paste on printed circuit boards before component placement. Solder paste inspection systems generally verify deposit presence, position, and volumetric quality so paste-printing issues can be detected before later assembly steps propagate defects.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Solder paste inspection systems generally image the printed board after stencil printing and compare measured paste deposits against programmed references and tolerances. Solder paste inspection systems typically use board fiducials to register position, then scan paste features across the panel and report defects for operator review or line control. Solder paste inspection systems often exchange measurement results with upstream printing controls and downstream assembly systems so process corrections can be applied.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Solder paste inspection systems are placed after solder paste printing and before component placement in an SMT assembly line. Solder paste inspection systems serve as an early process control step that screens for printing defects before reflow and final optical or x-ray inspection.

Applications

The SE500-II is intended for solder paste inspection in electronics assembly inspection. The SE500-II supports closed loop feedback and mounter feed forward integration features for line use.^[1]^[4]
