PARMIs SIGMA X Series is a next-generation in-line solder paste inspection system. The SIGMA X inspects pads smaller than 01005 and sizes as small as 100 m. The SIGMA X inspection is the fastest in the industry with the RSC-7 sensor. The system features a number of differentiating features including measuring speed of 100 cm2/second at 10x10 m resolution and the revolutionary Printer Doctor. With PARMIs Printer Doctor technology, Rocket EMS now can automatically analyze SPI data in real-time, correlate paste deposition to printer activities, and monitor trend change. Additionally, Printer Doctor alerts operators to process issues and provides them with user-defined corrective action. The system monitors a number of screen printer activities including board support tooling, squeegee blade condition, edge clamp condition, paste readiness to print, triggers stencil wiping and others.
