Hi,

We're in the process of evaluating AOI equipment for post-reflow inspection
and I'd like to get some feedback on this type of equipment.  Specifically
I'm looking for how well this works for post-solder inspection, how
difficult to program, typical fault spectrum that it's useful for finding.
I'd appreciate any feedback from those using systems currently regarding
their experience with this equipment.  Specific manufacturer recommendations
and comments would be welcome as well.  In the interest of keeping this
fairly non-commercial, feel free to respond offline with specific vendor
comments if you'd prefer.

Thanks in advance.
