Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide UV inspection conveyors: distinguish coating visibility from coverage acceptance
A UV workstation can help an operator view compatible coating indications. It does not by itself certify thickness, cure or every hidden surface.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide Magazine pushers: inspect the board edge and final slot during acceptance
A board can fit a magazine yet be difficult to push reliably. Specify the contact edge, locating surfaces and the tests that reveal inconsistent alignment.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide After flipping or corner transfer, how should the next machine identify board orientation?
Top side, leading edge and fixed-rail reference can change independently. Record the output orientation explicitly rather than relying on informal left/right labels.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide PCB reject stations: agree what happens when an inspection result is missing
A missing, late or mismatched result needs its own material-flow rule. Do not silently treat it as a passing board or assume the interface makes the decision.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide Magazine unloaders: test the full-output state before accepting a line
A full magazine is a normal production boundary. Verify where the next board waits, how upstream transfer pauses and how output resumes after replacement.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide What Sample-Board Evidence Should Buyers Request for Odd-Form Insertion?
A practical sample-board acceptance checklist for odd-form insertion buyers: part matrix, installed tooling, trial sequence and evidence pack.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide Post-Wave-Solder AOI Coverage Checks for Mixed THT, DIP, and SMD Assemblies
A practical framework for verifying post-wave-solder AOI coverage across mixed THT, DIP and SMD assemblies without overstating 2D or optional 3D capability.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide What Should a Used Wave-Soldering First-Board Trial Include?
A useful trial connects board transport, flux coverage, measured heating and joint inspection. A moving conveyor alone proves very little.
Inspection & Acceptance
Read guide Can an SPI Offer Deliver Its Finest Resolution and Largest Board Size Together?
Camera, sampling, board handling and cycle time are related configuration choices. Keep the columns separate and qualify paste measurements on the actual offered SPI generation.
