日前，在德国Productronica上，CyberOptics推出新一代AOI系统——QX500。CyberOptics表示，QX500系统是其首次采用了新的通用检测平台的产品，其检测速度和精确度都全面超过现有的AOI系统。

The performance of the QX500 AOI system, CyberOptics’ first inspection system utilizing a new common inspection sensor platform, exceeds many of the performance metrics, including inspection speed and accuracy, of the company’s current AOI offering and those of its competitors.

CyberOptics’ inspection products, including AOI and solder paste inspection systems, are deployed on production lines assembling surface mount technology (SMT) circuit boards that are used in a wide range of electronic products.

Kathleen P. Iverson, president, chief executive officer and chair, commented: “As a result of our common inspection sensor platform, essentially the same advanced sensor can be utilized across a variety of applications and in a number of new products. This initiative is enabling us to remove significant cost from new inspection products, resulting in improved margins, while allowing us to eventually provide a menu of tiered offerings for AOI and solder paste inspection systems at various price points for different market segments. Through this highly targeted approach, we are striving to expand our addressable market and achieve significant long-term returns on our R&D investments.”
