SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEFECT DETECTION AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT FOR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A defect detection system for detecting defects in PCBAs has multiple process probes distributed along a manufacturing line of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for detecting defects in the PCBAs. The multiple process probes are controlled by a probe controller. In another embodiment, a process management system uses the defect detection system, and has a design centre capable of communicating with the defect detection system for providing PCBA information to the defect detection system.
