Synerscan™ Advanced Technology for Affordable,
Non-Contact SMT Device Inspection

Efficient, Precise and Repeatable

  The Synerscan™ Synerscan is a, non-contact laser based inspection system that gives you extraordinary abilities to control and characterize the lead conditions of SMT mounted electronic devices. The system employs our patent pending scanning laser measurement technology to accomplish efficient, precise and repeatable tests and inspections. The system will rapidly test and inspect for solder tail characteristics including lead coplanarity, linearity, true position, skew and lead presence.

 

SMT Applications Eliminates Failures The Synerscan™ is an affordable inspection tool designed to offer flawless and trouble-free operation across a wide range of SMT devices. It is specifically designed for accurate and reliable inspection and test on SMT mounted electronic components. The importance of inspecting SMT connectors, IC's, switches, etc. is universally acknowledged and serves a number of purposes for both the manufacturer and the end user. For the component manufacturer, complete certainty that the product it delivers will meet the end user's SMT mounting requirement is absolutely essential for today's hyper-competitive, quality assured industry. The end user, on the other hand, is able to achieve improved quality; and certainty that the components used in its assemblies will not fail due to solder lead mounting deficiencies. Synerscan™ component inspection and tests virtually eliminate PCB, component and even product failures due to deficiencies caused by out of tolerance coplanarity, linearity, true position, skew, profile, and absence conditions.

 

Advanced Process Analysis Tool As a reliable method to achieve industry demands for 6 Sigma, ISO and QS level quality assurance, the Synerscan™ allows today's manufacturer an unprecedented way to achieve quality levels that until a few years ago, were technically unattainable and cost prohibitive. Rivaling the performance of inspection systems that may cost five time as much, the Synerscan™ allows you to efficiently and repeatedly perform 100% solder lead and tail inspection.

More specifically, the tool inspects the SMT device so that the repeatability of the inspection process is improved. With inspection reporting, it helps you to analyze the manufacturing process in order to gain improvements, reduce costs and avoid a defective product.

 

smtalogo Design and Performance Designed by Synergistech, Inc., a world class supplier of advanced inspection technology, the Synerscan™ utilizes a solid state scanning laser that sweeps across the SMT device at lightning fast speeds up to six (6) inches per second (15.2cm) . Offering a 2" x 4" maximum scanning area (5.1cm x 10.0cm) , the system will inspect, characterize and report the lead conditions of the SMT device in under one (1) second. In its bench-top configuration, the Synerscan™ will produce approximately 1200 operator controlled inspected units per hour (semi-automatic and fully automated versions available).

 

Efficient Flexible Operation All the equipment operator needs to do is place the SMT device for testing into a locating nest and initiate the inspection sequence. After the inspection, the device's condition, pass or fail, is simultaneously indicated on the system's computer monitor and via easy to read illuminated indicators.

Synerscan Tooling The unit is completely field configurable and may be purchased with dedicated, universal or interchangeable locating fixtures and work aids such as tray loaders, tube loaders, rotating fixtures, etc. Custom designed fixtures are available and additional fixtures may be installed in the field by customer personnel.

The unit is easily programmed using the system's unique Windows 95® based control interface. Initial programming is provided by Synergistech, Inc. The unit may be updated, changed and revised in the field.

 

Coplanarity Inspection In a typical coplanarity inspection, each of the SMT device's solder tails is scanned every 0.0005" (0.0127mm) to determine the solder tail's position, so as to establish a repeatable average measurement. Subsequent to the scanning, the Synerscan's™ software mathematically inverts and lowers the SMT device onto a mounting plane, until the part comes to rest. The distances from the mathematical mounting plane to the bottom of each tail are then computed. The largest measurement is then used as the coplanarity for the device. The end result of the methodology is the maximum utilization of the allowable coplanarity tolerance specification.

Linearity, true position, skew, profile, and presence (or absence) are all accomplished in a similar manner where the control software compares the measured lead conditions from a datum and/or from one to another.

 

Data Collection and Calculations The Synerscan™ employs Synergistech's patent pending scanning laser measurement technology. Coplanarity, linearity and other laser based measurements (optimized systems are capable of measuring solder tail width, spread, gap, span and package height) are determined by sweeping and scanning the electronic device's solder tails, at the theoretical point of PCB mounting contact. Solder tail elevation, position and condition measurement is then calculated based upon the laser light reflected from the scanned solder tail. The resulting reflected laser light is converted into signal voltages by a laser's triangulated receptors. Final measurement calculations are computed and reported to the operator via the software.

 

User-Defined Screens Menu driven screens allow user selected information to be displayed on the monitor.

Main Screen: Displays the status of the currently inspected part. main data screen

Statistics: displays the results for the current batch or lot being tested. stats

Lead Data: For both lead elevation and true position, displays by lead number, the last Scan Data, Average (Xbar), Range (R), Standard Deviation and Cpk lead data

Additional Screens: Available for selecting English or Metric dimensioning, system setup and calibration, lead elevation and true position graphs and real time laser readings.
