As PCB assemblies increase in complexity, electrical continuity alone is not sufficient to ensure performance in real-world operation. While in circuit and flying probe testing verify connectivity and component-level integrity, they do not fully confirm that a board functions correctly within its intended application. Functional...
Read MoreAs PCB assemblies grow more complex, inspection alone is no longer enough to ensure functional integrity. While automated optical inspection (AOI) excels at identifying visual and placement defects, electrical testing is required to verify that circuits are built correctly and perform as intended. Two of...
Read MoreAs PCB assemblies become denser and more complex, inspection plays a critical role in maintaining quality and controlling cost. Automated optical inspection, commonly referred to as AOI, has become a foundational tool in modern PCB assembly by enabling early defect detection and supporting process stability....
Read MoreIn the world of PCB assembly manufacturing, quality cannot be inspected into a product. It must be designed, built, and validated into every stage of production. For high-reliability sectors such as Medical, Aerospace, Industrial Automation, and Automotive, field failures are more than costly, they can...
