What it is

The CyberOptics SQ 3000 3D AOI is an automated optical inspection system for printed circuit board assembly inspection. The CyberOptics SQ 3000 3D AOI uses a PSX3D multi-camera plus projector 3D sensor featuring MRS technology. The CyberOptics SQ 3000 3D AOI has 20 x 20 inch inspection capability.[1][2]

How it works

The SQ3000 family uses Multi-Reflection Suppression sensor technology to reduce reflections from shiny components and reflective solder joints. The SQ3000 software set includes AI2 autonomous image interpretation, multi-touch controls, 3D image visualization tools, and CyberReport statistical process control capability. The CyberOptics SQ 3000 3D AOI can include AI image analysis software, run-time user interface software, localized operator user interface software, an offline programming and defect review workstation, and CyberReport SPC software for historical charting analysis.[4][1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The SQ3000 family supports inspection of high volume assemblies and different board sizes. The SQ3000-DD can inspect different programs on different lanes and can perform synchronous or asynchronous inspection. The SQ3000-D dual-lane single-sensor system is also available.[4][2]

Applications

The CyberOptics SQ3000 3D AOI is used for card assembly and card inspection. The CyberOptics SQ3000 3D AOI performs 2D and 3D inspection simultaneously. The CyberOptics SQ3000 3D AOI is used to inspect standard SMT parts, through-hole parts, odd-form parts, clips, connectors, and header pins. The CyberOptics SQ3000 3D AOI is used to detect component defects including missing parts, polarity errors, tombstones, billboards, flipped parts, wrong parts, and gross body and lead damage. The CyberOptics SQ3000 3D AOI is also used to detect solder-related defects including gold finger contamination, excess solder, insufficient solder, bridging, and through-hole pin conditions.[3]
