High Resolution Imaging System
With a superior resolution of 18um and scanning line color CCDcamera, BF-Frontier II provide accurate and stable inspectionresults. Solder fillets on components as small as the high densitymounted 0201(0603) chip, as well as IC’s with 0.4mm pitch lead are easily inspected and analyzed.
High Throughput
BF-Frontier Il has Saki’s original alternate scanning systemthat captures several lighting images in one scanning. Newlydeveloped color capturing system enable to make scanningspeed twice faster than previous model. It takes only 10 sec-onds to capture L-size board [460x500mm]. Overall tact time including inspection also become shortened dramatically.
Advantage of Line Scan Visual Inspection
Extra components on the board can be detected only by settingup one inspection window on the whole board. It is realized by the advantage of line scan method.
Coaxial Overhead Light
Soldering condition is inspected by illuminant irradiation of coaxialoverhead lighting. Inspection is not affected by shadowing byneighboring tall components, therefore same library is available at any location on the board.
New Interface
Renewed user interface makes it easier to set up inspection databy using pre-installed Saki standard library. And optional newfunction KPK, that finds out the difference between surface ofthe board and the surface of component automatically, simplifiesto detect missing component. This realizes time reduction for in-spection data making at launching production.
Flexibility
BF-Frontier Il has 40mm clearance at the top side of the boardand 40mm at the bottom side. It enables most of the PCBswith tall components. In addition, BF-Frontier Il can be used inany stage of the PCB production process from post-print, post-mounter, and post-flow / re-flow, or manual mounting.
Traceability
Optional function of BF-Frontier Il can read all types of Barcodeand 2D code on the board. Inspection output is reported withcode number. It enables easy SPC data handling and log datamanagement on manufacturing lines.
