Would anyone like to share their thoughts on automated coating inspection?
The good, the bad and or the ugly. 

Initial  experience that I have had with them leaves me with the impression  that:

	> That are useful to indicate if there is complete lack of coating  on a PCA or some specific PCA regions.
	> can indicate if there is sizable (ytbd)  violation of a keep out zone.
	> not the best to verify  coverage on some items  such as fine pitch QFP leads or  other small SM type components
	>  except for the case of select spots on a PCA also not the best to use as general tool to locate thick fillets or thin coatings on a PCA

As I said above, any thoughts (profound, rants or other) on this matter would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance
