Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a widely used method for assembling electronic components onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Despite its efficiency and high component density, SMT can sometimes result in defects, one of which is the formation of dull joints. Dull joints, often associated with col
Global Soul Limited (GS-SMT LTD), founded in 2011 and located in Shenzhen, China, is a global electronics specialist providing innovative solutions for Surface Mount Technology (SMT). One of the critical components of SMT manufacturing is Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), which plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and reliability of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). This article explores how AOI systems function within SMT lines, their benefits, applications, and the future of quality control in electronics manufacturing, with a focus on the role of AOI in SMT line manufacturers.
