Avoid Batch Scrap in SMT Production: High-Precision FAI Machine is the Key

In SMT production, even a small error in the first-article inspection can lead to batch scrap of products, resulting in huge losses in materials and production capacity. With the development of electronic products towards high density, miniaturization, and fine pitches, traditional manual FAI methods can no longer meet the precision requirements, and batch scrap risks are increasing. The Full-automatic Flying Probe First-article Detecting Machine, with its high-precision detection capabilities, has become the key to avoiding batch scrap in SMT production.

Precision Pain Points in Traditional SMT FAI

Traditional manual FAI in SMT production mainly relies on technicians' visual inspection and manual testing, which has the following precision defects:

1. Visual and Operational Errors: For micro-components (01005/0201 packaging) and fine-pitch BGA/QFP, human eyes are prone to visual fatigue and errors, leading to missed detection and misjudgment of solder joints and component parameters.

2. Low Positioning Accuracy: Manual positioning of test points has large mechanical errors, which cannot accurately detect the electrical parameters of fine-pitch components, resulting in unqualified first articles entering mass production.

3. Unstable Detection Standards: Different technicians have different understandings of detection standards, leading to inconsistent FAI results and increasing the risk of batch scrap .

High-Precision Advantages of Automatic Flying Probe FAI Machine

Our Full-automatic Flying Probe First-article Detecting Machine adopts advanced detection technologies to achieve high-precision FAI and fundamentally avoid batch scrap:

- Micro-Level Positioning Accuracy: Equipped with a high-precision visual positioning system and servo flying probes, the test point positioning accuracy reaches the micro-level, which can accurately detect fine-pitch components and solder joints.

- High-Precision Parameter Testing: The machine can accurately test parameters such as continuity, resistance, capacitance, and inductance of components, with a test accuracy of ±0.5%, ensuring that all parameters of the first article meet the design requirements .

- Standardized Detection Process: Built-in standardized detection programs, all test parameters are solidified by the system, eliminating the influence of human subjective factors and ensuring consistent FAI results.

- 100% Defect Interception Rate: Full-point non-dead-angle detection, combined with intelligent error judgment algorithms, can intercept all unqualified first articles, avoiding batch scrap caused by missed detection .

In SMT production, the cost of batch scrap is far higher than the investment in high-precision FAI equipment. Choosing our Full-automatic Flying Probe First-article Detecting Machine is an effective way to control quality risks and reduce production losses. Get a free quality risk assessment report.
