IWATA, M— Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) announced today that on July 1, 2021, it will launch the YRi-V 3D hybrid automated optical inspection (AOI) system, which achieves both high speed and high precision in operation, for high-end factories mounting electronic components.
The YRi-V was developed as a higher-end version of the bestselling YSi-V 3D hybrid AOI system, which is equipped with 2D inspection, 3D inspection and a 4-direction angular camera in a single machine. By adopting a newly developed inspection head equipped with a high-speed, high-resolution camera, an updated 3D projector, a high-performance GPU and more, the YRi-V achieves the industry's fastest inspection speed.*1 Further, inspection performance has been greatly improved while building on previous levels of convenience and functionality, such as raising the inspection capabilities for fine pitch ultra-small components and detecting scratches, cracks, chipped areas and the like with mirror-surface finishes, a difficulty until now.
The main features include 1) high levels of both speed*2 and precision*3 by adopting a newly developed inspection head equipped with a high-speed, high-resolution camera and a high-precision 8-direction 3D projector, 2) more functionality such as greater component inspection compatibility thanks to new coaxial lighting and more compatible PCB lengths via revised conveyors, and 3) improved usability thanks to using AI-powered deep learning and other changes to simplify, automate and lower skill requirements for inspection data creation, conversion, tuning, etc.
- *1
- According to Yamaha Motor research as of May 19, 2021.
- *2
- When imaging with 4 projectors vs. the current YSi-V TypeHS2 model, the YRi-V’s inspection speed (mm2/s) is about 1.6 times faster at 12 μm resolution and about 2 times faster at 7 μm resolution.
- *3
- Approximately twice the repeatability of the current YSi-V TypeHS2 model when measuring the height of chip components.
