Lloyd Doyle have introduced a ground-breaking new product – the phasor (see front cover photograph).
The new AOT system, is focused on the high technology sector of the PCB manufacturing market using copper clad laminate with low contrast such as RTF, DSTF and double-treat products.
phasor is a new laser/CCD based optical test machine which uses the fluorescent properties of organic laminates to provide an image for defect detection on the system. The sophisticated fault detection of the Lloyd Doyle AOT system then analyses the image for defects and reports these to the operator for repair or otherwise.
phasor complements the Lloyd Doyle EXCALIBUR range of systems to provide the ultimate in defect detection for all types of PCB images including inner layers, outer layers, microvia and HDI applications. phasor will be available in a number of configurations with options on throughput, resolution, large panel format and automation.
Roy Lloyd, CEO of Lloyd Doyle commented: "This is the first system of its kind in the optical test and inspection world. It combines the illumination characteristics of a laser with the benefits of using a high-speed CCD to generate a working image for fault analysis. Combine this with our unique AOT approach and the benefits to board shops in terms of higher yields at Electrical Test will be enormous".
