Pre-Wave AOI Inspection Cuts THT Defects and Boosts PCB Line Efficiency

In through-hole technology assembly, defects like solder bridges or missing components often escape manual checks, leading to costly rework post-wave soldering. A pre-wave AOI system, such as the I.C.T AI-4026, integrates inline to detect issues early on both PCB sides. This approach minimizes scrap, enhances yield, and streamlines production for SMT practitioners facing tight quality demands.
