2D AOI Defect Coverage and Offline Programming by Southern Machinery
A double-sided AOI only pays its way if the recipe catches real defects without drowning the line in false calls.
Which defects the 2D AOI is specified to catch
Four families, after wave soldering and reflow:
- Printing — insufficient or excess solder, misalignment, bridging
- Component — missing or extra parts, misalignment, reversed mounting
- DIP — missing, damaged, offset, skewed or inverted
- Soldering — unsoldered joints, bridging, solder balls, IC NG, copper stain
Classification uses machine learning, color extraction, grayscale and contrast, plus OCV/OCR.

Programming and recipe strategy
Recipes can be built manually, automatically, from imported CAD data, or by remote programming. An optional offline system builds recipes away from the line, so changeovers cost minutes rather than a shift.
Where the AOI sits in the line
- Paste printing and SPI.
- Placement.
- Reflow of side one.
- Flip; assemble side two.
- Wave soldering for THT.
- Inline 2D AOI: one pass, both sides.
- NG marking and rework; OK parts to test.
SMEMA handoff between stations.
Key parameters for buyers
- Finest pitch, and the lens resolution it forces
- Top and bottom height clearance
- PCB size, thickness and weight
- The defect families that matter, and the false-call rate
ROI perspective
Manual double-sided inspection is slow and inconsistent, and bottom-side defects often survive all the way to final test. Two cameras in a single pass cut escapes and rework together. Southern Machinery models the ROI case by case.

FAQ
Which defects can it detect?
Printing, component, DIP and soldering defects, including solder balls and copper stain.
Can recipes be built off-line?
Yes — remote programming is specified, and an optional offline system prepares recipes off-line.
What is the smallest component inspected?
A 0.005 chip and a 0.3 pitch IC; lens resolution ranges from 10 to 25 um.
Does it support traceability?
Data Matrix is built in, with optional barcode, SPC server and MES interface.
