Fellow Technetters, As a contract assembler we are in need, for a new client, of an piece of equipment to measure the exact position of a specific (SMD) component on a populated board. Is there any input concerning this issue? On vendors who sell this equipment and experience with this kind of measurements? The equipment should ideally also be suited for inspection on solder joints and placement of components etc. It is not necessary that it can work in-line because the measurement of the position of the component is done by sampling. Many thanx in advance for any input.
