I have looked at the following machines, 
Orbotech VT9000
Photon Dynamics RTI-7550 (no longer being made)
VI-Technology Vi-3000
Qualectron ESV-304 (benchtop)

For a smaller shop it makes sense to have an inline system, but use it as a stand alone system. a machine that can detect solderjoints on "J" bend leads is most useful along with a offline repair station.

please feel free to email me more information..

Subject: [TN] In-Line AOI


We are in the process of deciding whether or not to put our AOI's In-Line
either after the placement equipment and/or after the reflow oven.

We are a small lot/high mix facility.

We know the advantages of placing AOI in-line -- Catching problems before
they are reflowed, real-time feedback, etc, etc, etc.

BUT...we've have also heard some disadvantages such as the equipment
being a bottleneck, the need to have an additional operator to run the line,
and, programming time eating into capacity (even though off-line programming 
packages are available) to name a few.  

My feeling is that I'd love to have an in-line machine before and after the
reflow oven and I'd love to add more operators to man these machines.  
But, I can't always get want I want -- I can try sometimes -- but I don't always
get what I please!

So ... Just wondering what others think about this.
