Technetters, I'm looking to find out the major differences between the two types of technology. I understand what both technologies are, but what can the camera technology do that the scanner can't (or perhaps the other way around)? I know that the scanner only looks straight down, but there are camera AOIs that also only have one camera that looks straight down. If I wouldn't be looking at solder connections, is there a benefit to go with a more costly camera technology? thanks, Larry --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
