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 newly upgraded FX Series automated optical inspection systems to EE Technologies Inc., a full-service contract electronics manufacturer. EE Technologies will utilize Nordson YESTECHFX Series AOI for automated inspection of its printed circuit boards at their state-of-the art facilities, located in the greater Reno, Nevada area and in Empalme, Sonora, Mexico.
EE Technologies awarded the new contract to Nordson YESTECH based on their advanced inspection technology, superior customer support and fast, reliable inspection. The FX Series AOI system is a valuable tool within EE Technologies’ quality assurance program, utilized in-line, and providing them with advanced inspection for correct assembly including solder and lead defects, component presence and position, correct part and polarity. In addition, the FX AOI provides EET with high throughput, high accuracy, high-magnification inspection, with the ability to inspect components down to 01005. Nordson YESTECH’s user-friendly software was also a key factor in EET’s decision, allowing for quick set up of new product inspection, with operators typically take less than 1 hour to create a complete inspection program, including solder inspection.
“The FX Series AOI provides us with critical inspection data we rely on,” said Clay McElhany, Director of Operations, for EET. “The ability to accurately inspect rapidly, allows us to make immediate adjustments to our lean manufacturing flow. The FX has proven to be a very effective yield management and 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. The system utilizes a standard package library to simplify training and ensure 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 team at Nordson YESTECH provides us with excellent service” said Clay McElhany, Director of Operations, for EET. “The training was detailed and the installation was well supported. The FX Series AOI allows for rapid and accurate inspection of the product, ensuring manufacturing processes are performed as expected. We will continue to turn to Nordson YESTECH for our inspection needs in the future.”
“It is always a pleasure to work with organizations such as EE Technologies,” said Troy Johnson, Nordson YESTECH Sales Manager. “We are pleased to have once again been selected by EET and are proud to be an important part of their quality assurance program.”
