Altus, a leading distributor of capital equipment in the UK and Ireland, has added a new dimension to its inspection portfolio with the introduction of Quins range of technologically advanced products.
With an already impressive range of inspection equipment, Altus’ new affiliation with German company Quins will help electronics’ manufacturers to maintain a high level of quality assurance.
’Bringing Quins into the Altus Group offering is very exciting for us,” said Anthony Oh, Technical Applications Manager, Altus “We already have a very extensive range of inspection equipment from some of the world’s leading companies and so we are pleased to have been selected as a distributor for such a well-recognised and market-leading company.
“The Quins offering is not only cost effective, but also the most technologically advanced in its category which is evident by the number of installations across Europe. We have installed Quins equipment at the Altus demo unit in our head office facility to run samples and host remote webinars on customer’s product. We are looking forward to demonstrating just how important the range of products are to successful electronics’ manufacturing procedures like first article or conformal coating PCBA inspection,” concluded Anthony
Through the installation of the Quins product, the quality of the finished product will be improved thanks to its impressive inspection abilities which inspects, captures and records high quality images of every PCBA being produced for traceability purposes.
Quins Easy is one of the systems that Altus has added to its portfolio. It includes advanced software to inspect PCBAs using specially developed LED lighting. This guarantees a shadow-free image quality to ensure all errors are recognised. Due to its ease of use, it works quickly to detect faults immediately and reliably. The Quins system can also be configured with a UV bulb as an option to easily allow for additional applications and higher ROI (coating presence inspection). At a resolution up to 1200 dpi faults like hair line cracks in the layout, solder balls, faulty solderings, or shifted components are detected. The advanced software presents results in a comprehensible format to help to analyse and interpret data simply.
