With ‘Smart Debug’, GÖPEL electronic is elevating AOI test programme optimisation. The new function of the PILOT AOI software utilises real measurement data for intelligent tolerance adjustment, addressing a well-known challenge of false rejects due to process fluctuations and highly tolerated measurement functions, which previously was difficult to avoid due to a lack of statistical basis.
The new function accessing existing AOI measurement data and uses it as the basis for automatic tolerance adjustment. This enables test programmes to be optimised in a targeted manner, without having to rely on estimated values.
Results or measured values from other PCBA can also be used, significantly icnreasing flexibility and informative value. This development step in the optimisation of inspection programmes is made possible thanks to a powerful database that stores all measured values from AOI inspections and the associated image data.
This information is available to the user at the touch of a button – clearly displayed, including failure images. This allows you to see directly how changed tolerance limits affect previous and latest test results: are false rejects reduced? Is there a risk of defect slip? This saves time, increases security during program optimisation, and enables targeted slip control. Additional support is provided by automatic tolerance adjustment based on statistical calculations – for even greater efficiency in debugging.
GÖPEL electronic already set standards in fully automatic AOI test program generation with ‘MagicClick’. ‘Smart Debug’ is now the next technological step – this time in targeted optimisation and data analysis.
‘Smart Debug’ is a key part of the PILOT AOI software from GÖPEL electronic and will be delivered with new systems beginning in September 2025.
