Electronics & power electronics
Small parts, many variants and a single wrong component can fail in the field. Gorad checks presence, position, polarity and variant on every board and module, and keeps the result per serial number.
What makes inspection hard here
- Many board and module variants run on the same line
- A reversed or missing component, or the wrong value, is easy to miss by eye
- Connectors, crimps and coatings are small, and a bad one fails in the field
- Each board and module needs its own record for traceability
Typical checks
Presence and count
Every component, pin and terminal in place, and the right number of them.
Variant and orientation
Polarity of diodes and capacitors, the right module variant, and the right value from its marking.
Codes and text
Reference designators, lot codes, serials and labels, read and checked.
Defects and surface damage
Bent pins, burrs and plating defects on busbars and heatsinks, and damaged insulation on coils.
Measurement
Crimp position, terminal seating and conformal-coating coverage against keep-out areas.
What Gorad can check here
Typical tasks and the setup each one needs. Examples, not customer stories.
Worked examples
More applications
Component presence and orientation
Missing parts, reversed diodes and capacitors, and wrong values read from markings.
Area scan, macro optics, multi-angle light
Markings and labels
Reference designators, lot codes, serials and labels read and checked.
Area scan, OCR and code reading
Busbars and heatsinks
Burrs, plating defects and surface contamination.
Area scan, raking light
Transformers and coils
Wire placement, visible insulation damage and lead orientation.
Area scan, macro optics
Connectors and terminals
Bent or missing pins, crimp position and seating.
Area scan, macro lens
Conformal coating
Coverage and keep-out areas, under UV light.
Area scan, UV light
Cables and harness routing
Wire colour order, routing and tie positions on the assembly.
Area scan, diffuse light
Solder-joint inspection (fillet shape, bridges, tombstoning), voiding, BGA balls and coplanarity need dedicated AOI, X-ray or 3D machines. Continuous cable inspection needs line-scan cameras. Gorad does not offer these today.
Useful on the same platform
Inspection results feed these apps, on the same data.
