What should I prepare for an AOI inquiry?
Share the PCB and components, placement or solder-joint conditions to inspect, and current inspection difficulties. Include output, available space and your requested schedule where known. Models, options and sample evaluation are reviewed with the manufacturer. Agree the scope and method before sending drawings, confidential customer data or samples.
What should I prepare for an SPI inquiry?
Share the PCB, solder paste, printing process, print conditions to inspect and acceptance criteria. Include printer and line integration needs, output and schedule. You can start with your objective even if some information is unavailable. Agree the scope and method before sending drawings, confidential customer data or samples.
How do AOI and SPI differ?
AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) optically inspects component placement and solder joints. SPI (Solder Paste Inspection) examines printed solder paste. Actual inspection items and applicability depend on model, options and sample conditions.
Can I send samples for an immediate free test?
Preparation, targets, timing, cost and the scope of results must first be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Can we add coating inspection only?
The coating inspection pageexplains the objectives, samples and installation conditions to review. Coating and inspection equipment do not have to be purchased together.
