Overview

We design, develop, manufacture and market automated optical inspection, or AOI, systems and related products. AOI systems are computerized systems that optically inspect various types of electronic product components for defects caused during the manufacturing process. Our AOI systems are used to enhance both production processes and yields for manufacturers in three industries: the printed circuit board, or PCB, industry; the high density substrates for interconnection of integrated circuit devices, or IC substrate, industry; and the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging industry. Our systems provide our customers with a high level of defect detection ability; are easy to operate and offer high productivity. We have sold more than 2400 AOI systems in 34 countries around the world. Our PCB customer base includes the majority of the largest 100 PCB manufacturers worldwide. Since the introduction of our Falcon line for the semiconductor industry, we have sold over 150 Falcon systems to more than 30 semiconductor manufacturers, test and assembly houses and bumping service providers, including 12 out of the top 15 Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDM). Our global, direct customer support organization provides responsive, localized pre and post sales support for our customers through our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
