WHAT IS ScanINSPECT VPI?
ScanINSPECT VPI is a fully integrated, stand-alone process control, measurement and inspection and programming workstation for use in setting up processes before the production floor in the PCB or Hybrid Microcircuit assembly industries.
ScanINSPECT VPI uses a PC Windows based software package integrated with a high-resolution, calibrated, A3 size flatbed scanner. This combination allows inspection of artwork, PCB’s, ceramic substrates, components, stencils and screens at virtually any stage of production. Parts can be inspected versus either Gerber data, CAD data or Golden parts. All variables come together as a virtual part to avoid costly problems before full production starts.
PCB ASSEMBLY APPLICATIONS
ScanINSPECT VPI is capable of performing many different functions in a PCB Assembly facility such as:
- Design – Check Holes, Slots, Real Estate.
- Components – Compare parts from Multi-vendors including shape, color, size.
- Bare Boards – FR4, Ceramic or Flex parts. Compare from multi-vendors. Compare to Gerber or to Stencil.
- Stencils/Screens – Detect stretch, wear, missing, blocked or damages apertures. Use for incoming inspection or in production after cleaning.
- Wet Boards – Scan with standoffs. Compare paste or adhesive to Gerber, stencil or Golden part.
- Loaded Boards – Compare component locations, rotation, package type, etc to CAD data. First Article Inspection!

HYBRID MICROCIRCUIT APPLICATIONS
In the Hybrid Microcircuit Industry the same system can be
used to check:
- Design – Check Holes, Slots, Real Estate
- Artwork – Compare mylar, diazo, glass, chrome, etc to
Gerber, Golden parts or screens
- Wet Substrates – Scan with standoffs and compare
printed material to Gerber or Golden parts
- Loaded Substrates – Compare component locations,
rotation, package type, etc to CAD data. First Article
Inspection!
- Stencils/Screens – Detect stretch, wear, missing,
blocked or damages apertures. Use for incoming
inspection or in production after cleaning
All variables come together in a virtual system before production!
PROGRAMMING SYSTEM
In addition to creating a virtual part to avoid costly
production problems, the ScanINSPECT VPI system can
also be used for programming.
- Create through hole or SMT assembly programs from
either Gerber data, ASCII centroid data or scanned
images of PCB’s, film, stencils, etc.
- Create component vision files for SMT placement
equipment from scanned images of components. Offline
and no more calipers!!
SIMPLE OPERATION
The ScanINSPECT VPI system can be quickly learned and
is simple to operate.
Most inspection operations only take a
few steps and can be completed very quickly. Operators
can step between defects and zoom in and out to verify
errors. Inspection reports can be easily generated.
