Reduced waste and increased quality through yield management

100% automated inspection systems can assure quality standards are maintained on printed and patterned flexible circuit material.

 

The ISRA VISION Smash PCB™ inspection system can be used in printed electronics applications to detect defects to include: mis-registration, shorts, opens, cracks, "mouse bites", and substrate defects. The system uses algorithms that guarantee 100% inspec-tion of every print repeat. The high computing power of the SMASH WEB PROCESSOR delivers objective, repeatable inspection results - even at high processing speeds.

 

The ISRA Smash PCB™ Inspection System is a flexible automated surface inspection system that can provide quality evaluation and con-trol along every step of the production process - from raw material to final product. Defects are classified by type and the location of each defect is mapped on continuous web (reel to reel) or sheets. Alarms for repeating defects result in defect reduction. High quality images of the printed or patterned flexible circuit material allow for faster time to make ready. This reduces waste and improves throughput.

The Smash PCB™ Inspection System offer standard modules that guarantee reliable defect classification for accurate flagging of only defects of interest.

 

The heart of the Smash PCB™ inspection system is the SMASH WEB PROCESSOR, which provides full scalability to match the specific requirements of every process and allows for real-time processing of each repeat, regardless of process speed and width. The intuitive user interface was developed as a result of ISRA's combined experience with over 1000 installations on converting lines globally, as well as its extensive experience in 100% solutions of the printing industry, and in 100% solutions for the display industry. With a configurable user interface and a password protected user administration, the screen displays can be configured to present the user with only the information of interest and necessary to accomplish his task in the shortest time. Reliable inspection is possible regardless of web deviations, distortions or stretch.

 

All inspection results are stored in a database and can be accessed for further analysis. The entire batch history, summary results, and statistics can be reviewed in real time and stored for complete quality documentation.

The use of the Smash PCB™ Inspection System ensures product quality, process optimization, and allows the user to achieve cost savings and increased throughput in a competitive global marketplace.
