Why do so many companies choose Lynx for SMT inspection?

With hundreds of components mounted on to PCBs, it is crucial that (at least) batch inspection takes place, especially if the boards are new lines. A combination of different material (solders) and technology (including placement systems) result in different defects such as non wetting of the toe, paste alignment, popcorn cracking, cracked joints and poor reflow etc. The Lynx stereo inspection microscope allows for easy inspection of SMT / PCB, with a range of accessories to further simplify the inspection.

Lynx stereo inspection microscope simplifies and improves SMT inspection

For example, the optional oblique & direct viewer of Lynx provides a full 360° oblique rotating view of mounted components, with the ability to simply switch back to a conventional direct view.
