Any experencies with "simple" AOI system from Top side .?....

[FBH]

Has anybody good experencies with this, especially finding missing / mismounted hand-inserted components or mechanical parts. Possible with homemade USB-Cameras, but preferable "turn-key" solutions. Mostly AOI vendors are focussing on either AOI after SMT-Reflow or bottom side AOI after wawesoldereing!

I know of some companies that can provide turn key solutions for these purposes. National Instruments have a number of these type of camera solutions that can be adapted for use in checking if components are correctly mounted or present. Many of their partners can provide a turn key solution for this. I guess it depends where you are located which partner it is.
Also I know that the company from Finland called Orbis can provide these type of turn key solutions.

If you do something on this then I hope you can come and present the solution at the Test Forum some time in the future.

It is not so complicated, not simple either, thing to build it by yourself. Of cource it depends on what kind of accurace requirements you have etc.. In the past I have used Cognex insight with simple ring light + some additional lights when needed. Depending on your needs, if it is manual or in-line solution, things get more complicated.
