Optical Inspection System verifies pharmaceutical products.

Occupying 120 x 38 in. footprint with vibratory product feeder, VeriSym(TM) automatically verifies product color, size, and shape of nutraceuticals (VeriSym/N) or OTC and regulated pharmaceuticals (VeriSym/P). Fully enclosed system also removes defects and unconfirmed objects from product stream during inspection of up to 1,000,000 softgels/tablets per hour. Product settings can be stored in...

GKS Inspection Services Expands 3D Scanning Capabilities of Internal Geometries with CT Scanning

(MINNEAPOLIS, MN, USA; February 10, 2009)- GKS Inspection Services, a global provider of dimensional inspection, 3D laser scanning, and terrestrial scanning services since 1981, has expanded its roster of capabilities to include Computed Tomography (CT) scanning services and systems sales, which are available at their locations worldwide. High-accuracy CT scanning enables 3D scanning of parts...

Dual-Mode Scanner offers efficient PCB inspection.

Allowing inspection time of 60 sec for 4 BGAs, depending on board layout, VT-X series minimizes tact time for in-line, post-solder inspection of PCBs. Dual-mode x-ray inspection system combines CT scanning, to eliminate clutter from bottom side parts while top side is inspected, and high-speed tomosynthesis scanning for when bottom side components are not present. It can inspect boards up to 10 x...

Software/Hardware Package optimizes solder paste inspection.

Developed to meet speed and accuracy demands of electronics manufacturers, aSPIre-2 optimizes printing process and stops printing problems before they become soldering defects downstream. Fully automated system delivers true, reliable data and SPC analysis at inline speed, with no false calls and no escapes in effort to increas yields and produce throughput with minimal touch-up and rework....
