A Nagoya Electric inspection system for PCBs.
(March 18, 2008) YAVNE, Israel and TOKYO Valor Computerized Systems Ltd. established a technological partnership agreement with Nagoya Electric of Japan, which develops advanced automatic inspection equipment. The companies will integrate ODB++ PCB modeling and Valor's Part Library (VPL) onto Nagoya systems to shorten inspection setup times.
By relying on the ODB++ models of the PCB and accessing a layer of data that contains an accurate representation of component geometry based on VPL, inspection operators should be able to speed setup by incorporating previously prepared, accurate geometric data for more than 35 million components.
ODB++ is an intelligent CAD/CAM data exchange format with accuracy and flexibility for required expansions. Valor also will provide R&D support in interface buildup, technical training, and domain expertise to the joint development projects with Nagoya. The software provider referred to automated inspection as a valuable potential market for its products.
