Automatic Optical Testing
 
 
Just what is AOT?

AOT is the way forward

Are you using your AOI investment to its full capability on inner and outer layer images ?

Are you achieving high 1st-time yields at ET ?

Are you making the best use of your CAM data for inspection ?

Do most of your panels pass inspection without faults ?

If you can't honestly answer YES without doubt in your mind to any of these questions then it's  time you looked at AOT from Lloyd Doyle.


    AOT is a new concept; it brings the following benefits:

  • It combines the inspection process with ET fault detection logic and data preparation
  • It gives full inspection capability on any type of circuit image whether your application be inner layers or power/ground layers or even the   most complex outer layer images
  • It gives higher yields at ET
  • It allows efficient use of CAM data on all image types
  • It gives viable inspection results with all faults detected and NO FALSE ALARMS!

Just imagine how this could improve your Inspection performance.

A new approach to the Inspection of PCBs combining Optical Scanning and Test machine fault detection logic

Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) systems have long been used as the tool for sorting good PCB layers from bad ones.

Unfortunately, conventional AOI systems have been dogged with the inability to distinguish real alarms from false alarms.  This is largely due to the fact that the logic system that they use is based on either design rules or feature recognition and not on any functional reference of the panel.

AOT systems start from the basis of knowing the correct connectivity of the layers under inspection, this sets it apart from AOI.  This is the fundamental difference between AOT and AOI.

AOT is the logical step forward for optical inspection.  It brings together the process of inspection and electrical test.  AOT gives the manufacturer the chance to use the same integrated database for both inspection and test; data can beprepared for both electrical test and the AOT system on the same CAM station using the same issue files and the same connectivity data generation parameters.

Just imagine how this could improve your Inspection performance.
