There are currently 6 Acceler8 machines installed in customer locations in North America, as well as in several of our test centers.

Whether customers need high end investment, or need upgrading with minimal costs, Gardien has a product that fits all budgets.

This research paper is written by Alex Fung, the Technical Director of Gardien Group, who has over 20 years of experience in the electronics industry, covering areas in R&D, manufacturing, engineering, materials management and quality control.

This paper analyzes the combination of AOI and AVI to meet this objective.  There are five segments in this paper. The first part focuses on the application of AOI and AVI and identifies all kinds of defects and boards which they can inspect. The second part compares and contrasts the hardware and software of AOI and AVI machines. The third part studies the finding of defects under the application and the machine issues related to AOI and AVI. The fourth part examines the possibilities in combining AOI and AVI. The fifth part summarizes the key elements that caused the pros and cons of the universal machine (or so-called combined machine).

Roland Valentini, COO of Gardien, said, “This is our honor to participate in such world-class conference in sharing our expertise experience with others in this field, and we will definite welcome any further discussion about the subject in future.”
