MIRTECs all new MV-9 2D/3D CoaXPress In-Line AOI systems are configured with MIRTECs exclusive OMNI-VISION 2D/3D Inspection Technology that combines 25 Mega Pixel 2D Inspection with advanced Digital Multi-Frequency Quad Moir 3D inspection to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies. The MV-9 systems may be configured with a state-of-the-art CoaXPress 25 Mega Pixel top-down camera system. This proprietary camera system is designed and manufactured by MIRTEC for use with the companys complete product range of inspection equipment.

MIRTECs revolutionary CoaXPress Camera Technology is capable of providing data transfer rates of 25 Gbit/Second making the MV-9 the fastest 2D/3D AOI system in the world! MIRTECs revolutionary Digital Multi- Frequency Quad Moir Technology provides true 3D inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies using a total of four (4) Moir Inspection Probes. This proprietary system yields precise height measurement data necessary to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as solder volume post reflow. MIRTECs technologically advanced Six Phase Lighting System uses multi-color LEDs to illuminate inspection areas from six different angles providing superior solder joint characterization and co-planarity inspection of leads on gull-wing devices. The SIDE-VIEWER Camera System provides four 10 Megapixel angled cameras for automatic inspection of areas that are inaccessible with a Top-Down camera i.e. solder joint inspection for J-Leaded devices. The system also provides defect review from four camera angles for efficient defect analysis and classification. The MV-9 is configured with a Precision Linear Drive Positioning System providing high-speed, high-precision robot movement with rapid response, zero backlash and best of all zero maintenance.
