Gage R&R Report for Automatic Inspection System option at Ekra machine

System o Ekra 2D option installed at solder paste printer machine, serial number 804845 Objective o Verify if Automatic Solder paste inspection system is capable to detect solder defects in % coverage. Activities o To program a PCB of model GEN5113702-2 to be inspected Use representative pads across the whole board o 10 round pads (solder deposits) were chosen Run GR&R experiment using Minitab, 10 parts, 3 Operators, 3 replicates. o 2 parts are out of spec intentionally to check if systems can caught them Acceptable variation is <10%, Potentially acceptable variation is <30%, Not acceptable variation is >30%

Results:
Gage R&R %Contribution Source VarComp (of VarComp) Total Gage R&R 0.077 0.01 Repeatability 0.077 0.01 Reproducibility 0.000 0.00 Operators 0.000 0.00 Part-To-Part 685.981 99.99 Total Variation 686.057 100.00 Number of Distinct Categories = 133

As shown above, total variation is 0.01%, a variation from part-to-part is 99.99%, this means that every part is measured accurately by the equipment, and no variation is being attributed to machine. This is a good result in terms of machine capability. It also detects pad 2 & 9 that were much below the others, this means that machine is capable to maintain its accuracy when detecting good and bad parts.

Also as part of the analysis, some bad parts were measured randomly to ensure system is capable to detect them and to stop machine, as result all of the bad parts were detected, see pictures below:

BGA Pads with lack of solder, white circles are the pads without solder; gray circles are the pads with solder paste.

After inspection machine detects low % coverage on pads and mark them with red signs, and also % coverage of the image is displayed at the bottom of the image

Conclusion: This automatic inspection system s capable to detect any insufficiency or lack of solder deposits on paste printer, is was observed good repeatability & reproducibility on this equipment, it is also important to mention that this option can be activate or deactivated via user interface software, this system will be controlled by SMT engineering dept and documented to be used whenever the department decides and must not be deactivated by any other member.
