Nordson YESTECH Supplies JAVAD EMS with FX Series AOI Systems

17 Aug 2010

Carlsbad, CA, USA – Nordson YESTECH, a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) and a leading supplier of automated optical and x-ray inspection systems for the electronics industry, announced today that it has provided new FX Series automated optical inspection systems to JAVAD EMS, a full-service contract electronics manufacturer. JAVAD EMS will utilize Nordson YESTECH’s FX Series AOI for automated inspection of its printed circuit boards at their 40,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility, located in San Jose, California.

JAVAD EMS awarded the contract to Nordson YESTECH based on their advanced inspection capabilities. The FX Series AOI provides JAVAD EMS with inspection for correct assembly including solder and lead defects, component presence and position, correct part and polarity. The FX Series’ 5 camera system and a high intensity Fusion Lighting™ was a key factor in JAVAD’s decision, offering quick verification, with less false failures. “We at JAVAD EMS are committed to building quality products,” said Parvin Kumar, Quality Manager, for JAVAD EMS. The in-line AOI machines from Nordson YESTECH provide critical verification of solder quality and part placement, at a speed that is key for continuous product flow. The FX Series AOI machines compliment the rest of our inspection equipment, the process controls we have in place, and the strong engineering strength here at JAVAD EMS.”

“By utilizing the FX Series early in the process, we are able to find potential issues,” continued Kumar. “We can respond quickly to minimize process attritions and minimize rework/repair of devices. The FX has proven to be a very effective quality control tool for our organization.”

The FX series delivers a complete inspection solution, providing advanced automated inspection of solder and lead defects, component presence and position, correct part, polarity and through-hole parts. The FX Series AOI is equally well suited for high-volume or high mix manufacturing environments, providing fast throughput and high resolution for inspection of 01005 components. Programming is fast and easy; operators typically take less than 30 minutes to create a complete inspection program, including solder inspection. The system utilizes a standard package library to simplify training and insure program portability across manufacturing lines. Nordson YESTECH’s Advanced Fusion Lighting™ and 5 megapixel image processing technology integrates several techniques, including color inspection, normalized correlation and rule-based algorithms, to provide complete inspection coverage with an extremely low false failure rate. And because the FX Series is configurable for all line positions, it is equally effective for paste, pre / post-reflow and final assembly inspection. Off-line programming maximizes machine utilization and real-time SPC monitoring provides a valuable yield enhancement solution.

“The Nordson YESTECH AOI is a critical part of the production process puzzle here atJAVAD” said Pam Walke, Manufacturing Manager of JAVAD EMS. “No one single process check can verify or solve any and all product related issues. The FX Series AOI is a critical part of the puzzle and that’s why our investment in these machines on all our surface mount lines was a good one.”

“We are very pleased to work with an organization like JAVAD EMS,” said Troy Johnson, Nordson YESTECH Sales Manager. “Our ultimate goal is to provide the very best in inspection solutions and support, to ensure our customer’s success. We look forward to working with JAVAD EMS in the future.”
