Vi Technology Launches New Software Platform

Vi Technology announces the launch of Vision2009, a new integrated software suite, which goes a step further in simplifying programming. According to the company, new intuitive "Wizards” guide users through each step of program creation and optimization, reducing the need for advanced training.

VisCAM, an intuitive graphical assistant, is available at the first step of the program creation. It gives the ability to quickly and easily set up a program, defining board layout and accurate fiducial position on a real PCB image.

Teach Assist simplifies new model creation of leaded components. Only a few clicks are required to automatically measure ICs dimensions on real images and position inspection algorithms. This tool is flexible enough to enable the creation of odd components or connectors with a minimal amount of time. The fine-tuning phase is now optimized with the Tune Assist that guides users during the set up of solder joint inspection parameters. Utilizing production recording, optimum thresholds are identified to segregate good and bad solder joints in order to avoid false calls and false accepts.

With the continuous objective to make the most of the programming offline, Vision2009 is equipped with a Library Live Update function. This function allows the incorporation of library changes during production with no impact on cycle time.

Kaleido is an enhanced imaging technology for solder joint display and provides a color view to facilitate diagnosing defects on the Defect Viewer station.

Vision2009 is based on Vi Technology’s modular software platform and accommodates all AOI application options including: 2D Post Print, Mixed Mode, Pre Reflow, Post Reflow, Post Wave, backplane inspection, OCV and OCR. The suite also encompasses full offline programming capability, an optimization tool, centralized common database, cross platform program transportability, review/repair station, data mining system.
