BSU, Inc. incorporates advanced Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) into the manufacturing process of every Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) assembled in its manufacturing facility. “The AOI capability ensures that our customers’ products are free from visible defects and are therefore reliable and of high quality,” says Ahmad Chamseddine, President. “AOI uses machine vision to very quickly and accurately examine each assembly for surface defects, dimensional defects and component placement errors. This allows us to guarantee that the product is of high quality without any visible manufacturing defects. AOI is an integral part of the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) of BSU Inc., a growing EMS company located in downtown Austin, Texas.

AOI compares the assembled product to a “known good board” model that is driven into the machine. Then the system inspects each PCBA in sequence, comparing the patterns for each device and taking other visual measurements as well. “Defect coverage includes all SMT and PTH parts up to 01005, checking for the presence or absence of parts, part polarity, part position and tilt errors, bad parts and differences between devices, including labels and color variations, ”adds Chamseddine. “It’s an extremely fast and accurate process, which ensures that our customers receive their products on time and free from defects.
