SEHO Systems GmbH, a worldwide leading manufacturer of automated soldering systems and customer-specific solutions, announces that it has partnered with IVT Industrial Vision Technologies GmbH. IVT is a pioneer in the field of AOI and solder joint inspection offering inline and offline test and rework equipment as well as customized turnkey solutions. Under the new partnership, SEHOs customers will benefit from IVTs AOI world-class solutions and know-how in component inspection.

IVTs AOI systems ideally can be integrated in the SEHO PowerSelective, providing remarkable cost savings in regards to floor space and board handling equipment. Depending on the complexity of the product to be soldered, the AOI system can be activated if solder joints are considered to be critical, or it may be deactivated for uncomplicated boards, thus reducing overall production time. This new feature already has been installed in several production machines worldwide with very positive feedback from customers.

The AOI systems also are available as separate modules that can be integrated into an inline production line after the wave or selective soldering process. With the acquisition of shares in IVT and the combination of competencies, SEHO creates a team with outstanding potential for innovative solutions.
