Visual Inspection

This type of analysis is complementary to the X-Ray inspection, as it carries out a check on the external characteristics of the electronic assembly that can be appreciated with the naked eye and through a visor.

Check the assembly condition of your device before releasing it to the market to prevent malfunctions and field returns.

Our visual inspection

PreventLab staff is certified as IPC specialist A-610, the key standard that regulates the visual inspection of electronic assemblies.


By operating according to the criteria of this standard it is possible to verify that the electronic assembly satisfies the requirements depending on the IPC class to which the final product belongs (1, 2 or 3)

microscopio ottico binoculare

It is an analysis that allows us to appreciate multiple characteristics, including:

The welding condition, with particular reference to the SMD and PTH joint

The condition of cleanliness, understood as the presence of residues or particulate matter

The condition of assembly and fixing of the components

The condition of the PCB after the assembly process

Any damage to the laminate or components made of materials too light to be inspected by X-ray

Compliance with the insulation requirements of the class to which it belongs

Normativa:

IPC-A-610 for checking the external characteristics of the electronic assembly from 3 to 10 times magnification

As required by the standard, the inspection begins with the naked eye, then proceeds through a viewer adjusted to the magnifications indicated for inspection and for checking for defects.

The instrument used is the Leica binocular optical microscope, model M165A
