AOI Inspection

MEK is a leading supplier of Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) technologies for advanced PCB inspection, test and measurement.
Having introduced full 24-bit colour imaging defect detection to the electronics assembly market, MEK are the driving force behind important advances in desktop AOI, island AOI and inline AOI systems for New Product Introduction (NPI), low-volume, high-mix or high-volume manufacturing environments worldwide.
Automatic Optical Inspection is the cost effective solution to replace traditional human inspection whilst at the same time reducing the need for expensive electrical test.

Mek solder paste inspection (SPI) equipment is used to monitor and control one of the most critical steps affecting the finished quality of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Solder paste deposition is the key process in board assembly operations and modern electronics manufacturing trends are increasingly abandoning costly repairs in favour of prevention through improved process control.
Research has identified that over 60% of end of line defects can be traced back to printing errors. Intercepting these defects before they happen reduces rework costs, provides instant yield improvement and accelerates return on investment.
