How Hardware Startups Use Automated Optical Inspection for Solder Joint Quality
In episode 67 of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna delve into automated optical inspection (AOI) for verifying solder joint quality on high-density circuit boards. They discuss how a medical device startup reduced field failures by 40% using 3D AOI, the difference between 2D and 3D inspection, and why false positives matter more than catch rate. Lucas explains how AOI systems capture multiple images at different angles and lighting conditions to detect defects like open joints, insufficient solder, and tombstoning. They also cover how startups can decide between inline and…
