Vi TECHNOLOGY to Demonstrate 2K Spectro at 'Live SMT Line' at EFY Expo 2013

NEW DELHI, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Visitors Will Also See Optimum Test Coverage as Well as 'Best in Class' Low False Calls Rate and Cycle Time

Vi TECHNOLOGY is participating in EFY Expo 2013 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from 21-23 February 2013. This year, EFY Expo 2013 has set up an assembly line to demonstrate SMT equipment capabilities. As part of this new opportunity, Vi TECHNOLOGY will demonstrate its new 2K Spectro, which will perform post-reflow activities. Visitors will be able to appreciate the quality of the inspection at Live SMT LINE at booth N50 of Hall 10. Visitors will also see optimum test coverage as well as 'best in class' low false calls rate and cycle time. "Being able to perform live provides visitors a very good opportunity to understand AOI equipment in 'real life' and show them a complete configuration," said Rakesh Shetty, business development manager for India, Vi TECHNOLOGY. This is particularly true for users who have not been exposed to AOI.

Vi TECHNOLOGY 2K Spectro, with its effective footprint for PCB size not exceeding 14"x14", is the smallest system of the Vi TECHNOLOGY K-Series. The K-Series systems offering is completed by 5K Spectro, a flexible solution for High mix Low volume with 21"x24" capabilities, the 7KDL, a dual lane solution for high volume manufacturing, and the 9K HB, with 40"x24" board size capability for niche applications.

Vi TECHNOLOGY Spectro heads use 8MP, 12 bit colour camera to enhance the quality of the pictures with lower resolution and higher definition (thanks to the 12 bits which carries 8 times more information). This new technology brings benefits to every stage of AOI usage including higher efficiency with effective cycle time, faster programming, and friendlier intuitive interface on defect review.

Vi TECHNOLOGY has been in the AOI business for over 20 years and has built its reputation on reliable, efficient products and support excellence. The company's history and reputation is important to the Indian market and was a key driver to establishing a direct presence in India for the past five years. The Indian Electronic market has grown gradually and numbers of local companies have emerged setting up new facilities. Vi TECHNOLOGY's presence at the EFY Expo 2013 is a natural bridge with existing and potential customers.
