Introduction
"This Inline PCB Cleaning Machine with AOI equipment is specifically designed for product cleaning and solder joint inspection after the selective soldering process. Once the product enters the machine, it performs a fully automated workflow including automatic clamping, automatic cleaning, and AOI visual inspection.
The system provides precise cleaning for areas such as through-hole pins and screws, and the AOI module automatically detects defects such as solder bridging, insufficient solder, solder beads, foreign objects, blowholes, and solder joint cracks, ensuring stable and reliable solder quality.
By integrating cleaning and inspection into one machine, it significantly improves efficiency, replaces manual labor, and is ideal for high-mix, high-quality PCBA production lines."

An inline cleaning machine with AOI combines PCB cleaning and automated optical inspection in one system. It is designed to clean PCBs after selective soldering and automatically inspect solder joints for defects, improving efficiency and product quality.
Q2: Where is this machine used in the SMT production line?
This machine is installed after the selective soldering process. It cleans flux residues and contaminants from through-hole areas and then performs AOI inspection before the next production step.
Q3: What types of defects can the AOI system detect?
The AOI module can detect common solder joint defects, including solder bridging, insufficient solder, solder beads, foreign objects, blowholes, and solder joint cracks.
Q4: What areas of the PCB can be cleaned?
The machine provides precise cleaning for through-hole pins, screws, and selective soldering areas, where flux residue and contamination are most common.
Q5: Is the cleaning and inspection process fully automatic?
Yes. The system features a fully automated workflow, including automatic PCB clamping, automatic cleaning, and automatic AOI visual inspection, reducing the need for manual operation.
Q6: Can this machine replace manual inspection and cleaning?
Yes. By integrating cleaning and AOI inspection into one machine, it significantly reduces manual labor while improving consistency and inspection accuracy.
Q7: Is this machine suitable for high-mix PCBA production?
Yes. The machine is ideal for high-mix, high-quality PCBA production lines, where different PCB designs and frequent product changes require stable and reliable cleaning and inspection.
Q8: Can the machine be integrated into an inline production line?
Yes. The system is designed for inline operation and can be seamlessly integrated with selective soldering machines and other SMT line equipment.
Q9: What are the main benefits of combining cleaning and AOI in one machine?
