PCB drilling machine-Broken needle monitoring

The PCB drilling machine is an indispensable piece of equipment during the PCB process. As growth and advancement of the 3C electronics industry continue, the demand for PCB drilling machines grows and that for technical upgrades turns strong. Since history, the broken needle forecast technology, which is difficult to break through in PCB drilling machines, has been an important issue to address for improved yield rate and lower cost.

Our: “Smart Vibration Diagnosis and Monitoring Solution”, with the smart vibration sensor and the Edge AI host and the advanced AI dynamic noise-canceling technology and drilling needle aging rate monitoring technology, is capable of calculating the wear status of each drilling needle and forecasting chances of a broken needle in time, which allows not only real-time detection of broken needles but also real-time forecast of chances of a broken needle to greatly lower the probability of defective products and even scraps and to accordingly improve the competitive advantages of and customer satisfaction with products.
