The system is configured with a Z-axis multifocal vision imaging system. This advanced technology provides fully programmable Z-axis control of the inspection head and lighting system. It provides optimal focus levels for items of varying heights, such as stacked PCB assemblies, tall components, or automotive connector pins.

MIRTEC ‘s exclusive OMNI-VISION® 3D inspection technology combines the company’s proprietary 15 megapixel CoaXPress camera technology with its revolutionary digital tri-frequency Moiré 3D Technology to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies.

Fully configured the MV-6Z OMNI 3D AOI machines feature an 18 megapixel SIDE-VIEWER® Camera System, an eight-phase color lighting system, AOI-SPI multi-function capability, an indexing option for over-size PCB applications and a host of market leading Industry 4.0 solutions designed to maximize the efficiency and profitability of the PCB manufacturing process.

Co-chaired by Tanya Martin of the SMTA and Jessica Molloy of ZESTRON, the second presentation will take place from 1:45-2:30 p.m. Loretta Renard, CEO at REMAP, will focus on changing the perception of manufacturing process.

As manufacturing process becomes more advanced and digitized, perceptions about careers in manufacturing are changing – creating a more positive perception of the sector and incenting more women to pursue careers in manufacturing process. This is further supported by workforce multiplier jobs – currently estimated to be 16 jobs created for every one high-tech manufacturing process job. These multiplier jobs support and drive manufacturing process, but are not on the manufacturing floor – such as automation technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and a whole host of supporting professions from supply chain management through logistics, finance, marketing and beyond. There is much sophistication and excitement around manufacturing process and this is quickly changing the demographics of the workforce.

The winners in this evolving industry will possess varying combinations of technical, leadership and power skills. Loretta will discuss the growing role of women in the advanced manufacturing process and how she has leveraged her communications, interpersonal and leadership toolkit to grow her own unique and unexpected career in the manufacturing sector.

The CE-certified system features Windows®-based software with a touchscreen monitor. Built-in feature data logging and reporting allow deposition process records, including vaporizer temperatures and deposition chamber vacuum levels, to be easily exported as data.

Ultra-thin Parylene coatings are inert and biocompatible, and have excellent moisture, chemical and dielectric barrier properties. Parylene polymer coatings are applied via vapor deposition equipment systems, which allows for the precise control of coating rate and thickness. The deposition process begins as the powdered precursor (dimer) is vaporized under vacuum and heated to form a dimeric gas. The gas is then pyrolized to cleave the dimer into its monomeric form and finally is deposited as a transparent polymer film. The polymerization process occurs at ambient temperatures and does not involve solvents, catalysts or cure forces. Parylene coatings process can be applied in thicknesses from several hundred angstroms to 75 microns.

Parylenes can be applied to components such as circuit boards, sensors, wafers, medical devices, MEMS and elastomeric components. SCS Labcoters are useful in research, development and repair environments.

The award was announced during a ceremony that took place Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022 during SMTA Guadalajara in Mexico. MIRTEC’s Revolutionary GENESYS-PIN 3D AOI System is specifically developed for the Automotive Electronics Market.

This extraordinary system is configured with a 12 Megapixel CoaXPress High-speed Camera System, a 15um Precision Telecentric Lens, an advanced nine (9) Phase RGB Color Lighting System, a Programmable Multi-Focus Z-Axis System, and four (4) Programmable Multi-Pattern Digital Projectors which are an integral part of MIRTEC’s proprietary Hybrid 3D Measurement Technology. With this revolutionary optical system, the GENESYS-PIN machine can measure up to 50mm tall connector pins with extreme accuracy.

The GENESYS-PIN machine detects defects such as missing pins, pin offset, distance between pins and inner/outer dimensions of forked pins. The machine operates in two different modes: Precision Inspection Mode and High-Speed Inspection Mode. From zero to 12mm there is no difference between modes. Precision Inspection Mode may be selected to inspect pins in excess of 12mm tall. In this mode, the Programmable Multi-Focus Z-Axis is used to raise the head so that the system can precisely measure pins up to 50mm.

In High-Speed Mode, the Z-Axis remains fixed with a maximum height measurement of up to 40mm. High-Speed Inspection Mode is approximately 53% faster when compared to Precision Inspection Mode with a slight decrease in accuracy for inspection of taller pins.

KIC’s Sales Manager in Mexico, Miguel Carbajal said “KIC is excited about winning this award and receiving recognition for our innovation. Customer feedback directed us, and our top-notch R&D team, to find a unique solution for profiling up to 24 points on a PCB, and the market seems to be very pleased with the result.”

The new Dual Profiling system for Profiling Software 2G and SPS Smart Profilers allows to use 24 thermocouple locations in a single profile run for temperature profiling measurements process. The new system consists of two 12 channel SPS units, paired together and run as a single 24 channel profiler inside of a new thermal barrier case. This is key for customers who require more sample locations on some of their products, but still want to use same profiler on smaller boards requiring less. Dual Profiling allows this flexibility usage.

Using the Profiling Software 2G application, a user can synchronize two standard 12 channel SPS Smart Profilers together and they will function as a single profiler system. Also included is a brand-new shield design to accommodate protecting 2 SPS profilers by simultaneously.

When profiling larger products as server boards or long PCB are often a need for more measurement points. The new Dual Profiling system provides this ability and more flexibility for running with other TC location configurations also.

The Dual Profiling option with 24 channels and associated hardware is available in a variety of kits, offering ultimate system flexibility. System kits are available with the purchase of new SPS Smart Profilers and as an option for use with existing 12 channel SPS Smart Profilers.
