Back in the early 2000s, machines were not dependable enough to inspect printed solder paste or mounted components , so a human worker had to sit at the line, star e at each solder brick and component on a board, and then identify defects with their eyes under a magnifying lens. The industry had to replace this manual process with an inspection machine designed with enough
software intelligence to substitute a human mind with more accuracy than the human eye. Now, our 3D inspection systems are the de facto standard for inspection and have revolutionized the electronics manufacturing industry.
