For checking solder joints (low volume) of assemblies after conformal coating, x ray machine with tilting, can do the job.

I replied to this off line with different recommendations. 

I agree completely with your assessment of the Saki, and they have very good

customer support.

The MVP is arguably the best for volume but not for quick turn very short

run applications.

I too doubt the ability of any machine to inspect solder through coating. 

It makes more sense to inspect before coating.

No AOI machine can inspect reliably through conformal coat, except for

possibly missing parts. The coating and thus the reflection of light is

to variable.

And the best AOI machine out there is MVP. Easily the best. Another

excellent one for the money is Saki.

Does anyone have a recommendations for a good low volume AOI machine. We

use UR and AR conformal coatings so some of the assemblies will be

inspected through it. Let me know off-line.
