The participation of multiple vendors at 3D-AOI Arena creates a direct comparison platform to help visitors understand the latest advancements and make informed decisions. At the event's opening, a panel of representatives from each company will set the stage with a brief Q&A session. Visitors can then gain in-depth knowledge of the manufacturers' technical teams during the subsequent hands-on sessions.

Mr. Ichiro Arimoto, from Yamaha Motor Europe's IM division, states: "High-performance inspection is becoming increasingly important, not only to manage the growing complexity of today's assemblies, but also to enable real-time production line management and capture high-precision data for continuous improvement. Our YSi-V system, which visitors will be able to see in detail at this innovative event, makes this a reality with the most advanced lighting and machine vision technologies for cutting-edge accuracy, resolution, and high speed.".

Yamaha's YSi-V 3D online AOI system can be deployed after placement and after reflow to support quality assurance and process control. By leveraging sophisticated communication between the YSi-V and the Yamaha Total Line Solution's mounters and print-screen/dispensing machines, Yamaha Factory Automation 4.0 tools, including quality control options, can quickly trace the root causes of any defects back to the feeder, nozzle, or associated stencil opening to help restore process control.

With a camera resolution of up to 12 megapixels, the YSi-V performs 2D and 3D optical inspection at multiple angles and wavelengths on today's most advanced surface-mount challenges. Laser control of component height and coplanarity is also built in, enabling fast and accurate inspection of complex mixed-technology assemblies containing any combination of small SMDs, fine-pitch integrated circuits and chip-scale packages, and through-hole parts.

The 45-minute event will be presented alternately in German and English each day of the fair, starting at 10:00 am, in the 3D-AOI Arena in Hall A2, stand 506.
