Herald Electronics decides on AOI System from GOEPEL electronics
Sub contract electronics manufacturing company Herald Electronics Ltd has added an AOI system for the inspection of mounted PCBs. They decided in favour of the technologically leading company GOEPEL electronics and its OptiCon BasicLine 1M AOI system with angled view camera and laser height tool.
Herald Electronics found that GOEPEL electronics’ OptiCon BasicLine AOI system is an extremely effective tool in the production process as a stand-alone solution for SMD and THT inspection. Time and cost savings, as well as an increased quality were viewed as cornerstones of competitiveness, all achievable with the new inspection system. The simple test program creation and extraordinary flexibility were additional critical points during the AOI system selection in which GOEPEL electronics’ OptiCon BasicLine delivered the best results.
“The OptiCon BasicLine AOI system provided a solution that met all the criteria of Herald Electronics including 01005 and angled view inspection coupled with laser height measurement and system versatility,” said Richard Ainley, sales specialist for GOEPEL electronics.
Steve Henderson, Sales Manager for Herald Electronics said: “This is a key investment for Herald Electronics and will support our high technology capabilities in line with our philosophy of right first time. We looked at various machines available and decided on the GOEPEL electronics’ machine due to its high quality, speed and technical capabilities These are very exciting times for Herald and we are really seeing the advantages of investing in systems and equipment in the current climate. Technology has not stopped moving forward and we need a facility to support the manufacture of leading edge products for our existing and new customers into the future”.
