(Nordson: Carlsbad, CA) -- Nordson YESTECH, a subsidiary of Nordson Corp. and a developer and producer of automated optical and X-ray inspection systems for the electronics industry, has introduced its latest generation of automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, the FX, BX, and BX-UV conformal coat-inspection system for printed circuit board assemblies.

Image-based AOI methods use a historical database of images, which can contain a series of both good and defective components, learn to recognize the variables within a group of images, and apply those variables against all future component inspections. In comparison, algorithm-based inspection uses contrast location mechanisms that look for variations in light and dark grayscale or color patterns to identify the component and surrounding area.

Nordson YESTECH’s flexible hardware and software inspection solutions employ a combination of both methods in one system, providing the most powerful and comprehensive inspection possible. Both methods of inspection offer significant benefits including:
