OMRON Releases the VT-RNS High Density PCB Inspection Equipment Series

Kyoto, Japan, Oct 8, 2004 - (JCN Newswire) - OMRON Corporation (TSE: 6645; US:OMRNY), a global leader in automation, sensing and control technology has announced the release of the VT-RNS High Density PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Inspection Equipment series. Based on Omron's cutting-edge "sensing & control" and "inspection" technologies, the new VT-RNS series couples these technologies with added functionality effective to the digital consumer-electronics industry. The VT-RNS series was on display at PROTEC Japan 2004 (Electronic Manufacturing Process Technology Exhibition 2004), which runs from October 6th to 8th at the Makuhari Messe near Tokyo.

Omron has developed the new "VT-RNS Series" to address new and urgent requirements in the inspection industry. As mobile phones, digital cameras and other products in the digital consumer electronics industry become smaller with higher performance and greater functionality, PCB chips must also be smaller and of higher density. Further, demands for lead-free manufacturing are also accelerating. Thus it has become very difficult to maintain product quality with current inspection methods. A diversification of manufacturing methods in response to faster manufacturing cycles, shorter product time-lines and small quantity production compound pressures on inspection methods.

Further, quality assurance concepts have changed from "final assurance" to "process assurance"; and from "no defective products running on the product line" to "no manufacturing of defective products". Inspection equipment has taken a leading role in process assurance and will continue to play a growing role in the future.
