Currently our QA department is pushing for the Malcom Solder paste Height Measurement system(about $34K). This system is only capable of measuring solder paste height. Are there other paste inspection systems or AOI systems available so that we can compare. A system that is capable of inspecting solder paste height as well as doing OCR on component part numbers would be ideal. If we could download the inspection data into an SPC system that would be great too. A system that could accept gerber files for programming purposes would be even nicer. Any information on a system or systems like those mentioned above will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance for your help.
