1 SCOPE
This standard provides requirements for automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to define, set up, establish and apply process control for manufacturing printed board assemblies, including general and specific process and AOI system conditions. Requirements include inspection parameters, lighting conditions, calibration, detectability, resolution, threshold limits and program setups, measurement system analysis (MSA), maintenance and verification protocols.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to set industry.defined requirements for AOI systems to reduce false calls to ensure quality and reliability of printed board assemblies, with improved throughput and shortened cycle times. This standard also supports electronics manufacturers to enable advanced manufacturing, real.time data analytics and control capabilities.
1.2 Classification
This standard recognizes that electrical and electronic assemblies are subject to classifications by intended end.item use. Three general end.product classes have been established to reflect differences in manufacturability, complexity, functional performance requirements, quality and reliability requirement, and verification (inspection/test) frequency.
