Advertorial A new platform for K series 3D AOI At the upcoming Productronica, ViTECHNOLOGY will exhibit the new platform which will prefigure next models of its renowned 3D AOI K series. The new design, only unveiled at the show, embeds a machine learning based technology that drastically reduces the programming time while maintaining the high level of performance and flexibility for which it is renowned. At Productronica 2019, Vi TECHNO- ALOGY will unveil its new 3D AOI platform. Visitors to the 3D AOI Arena will have the privilege of discovering the new design of the proven K series 3D AOI, which will prefigure future models of the range. This new generation naturally integrates with other equipment from the Mycronic product range, clearly affirming its belonging to the MYPro Line concept designed to enable the smart factory. 2x faster programming The K series 3D AOI range has been adopted worldwide by leading companies in the most demanding industries such as medical, aerospace, automotive and defense, regardless of production volumes. Based on a customer-centric approach, Vi TECHNOLOGY thrives to optimize the return on investment of its inspection equipment by reducing its total cost of operation and by increasing the value created for its customers. This has led the R&D department to accelerate the programming time by a factor of 2, by taking the software to a new technological level. Machine Learning inside This new platform embeds breakthrough algorithms based on Machine Learning technology, a subset of Artificial Intelligence, aim at automating programming tasks thanks to autonomous component recognition and assisted model creation. This will represent a major step forward for low volume/high mix EMSs with a high pace of new product introduction. In practice, it will only take a few clicks to program the inspection of a completely new board with thousands of components. These new features will be available to K 3D AOI PLATFORM! existing and new K 3D customers by the end of 2019. Unrivalled reliability and flexibility The hood of this revamped version hides all the hardware and software evolutions recently introduced by Vi TECHNOLOGY. By combining its latest high-speed laser 3D scanning head with the new Smart Scene Analysis algorithm, this K3D features an inspection time up to 50% faster than on previous generation. We can also mention the extension of the test coverage with foreign material detection, a powerful Optical Character Verification and a new IPC component overhang test. This completes a list of features already popular for its efficiency and flexibility, such as the inspection of custom components, or the metrological measurement with 10μm accuracy. The new K3D AOI platform will be on demo at both the 3D AOI Arena booth and at the Mycronic booth (Hall A3 #341). CONTACT Tarak Charfi joined Vi TECHNOLOGY as Sales Director EMEA 4 years ago.
