QX500 AOI System Utilizes New Common Sensor Platform Technology
CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today announced the introduction of its next-generation automated optical inspection (AOI) system at the global Productronica electronics trade show in Germany.
The performance of the QX500 AOI system, CyberOptics’ first inspection system utilizing a new common inspection sensor platform, exceeds many of the performance metrics, including inspection speed and accuracy, of the company’s current AOI offering and those of its competitors.
CyberOptics’ inspection products, including AOI and solder paste inspection systems, are deployed on production lines assembling surface mount technology (SMT) circuit boards that are used in a wide range of electronic products.
Kathleen P. Iverson, president, chief executive officer and chair, commented: “As a result of our common inspection sensor platform, essentially the same advanced sensor can be utilized across a variety of applications and in a number of new products. This initiative is enabling us to remove significant cost from new inspection products, resulting in improved margins, while allowing us to eventually provide a menu of tiered offerings for AOI and solder paste inspection systems at various price points for different market segments. Through this highly targeted approach, we are striving to expand our addressable market and achieve significant long-term returns on our R&D investments.”
