RVSI introduces GS-5000 high speed Grid Scanning system

Business Wire, Dec 1, 1995

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 1995--The Electronics Division of RVSI (Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ National Market System - ROBV)), announced today the introduction of the GS-5000, the newest addition to its series of "In-Tray" semiconductor lead scanning systems.

The GS-5000 Grid Scanning system is the first lead scanner designed exclusively for ball grid array (BGA) applications. The new GS-5000 sensor gathers high resolution three-dimensional data from the surface of ball grid arrays, which permits accurate detection of any defective components. The GS-5000 Series is available in two configurations, single bed and dual bed. The dual bed (DB) efficiently accommodates even the highest throughput inspection applications by employing two adjacent inspection areas. This feature ensures that a tray is always being inspected - even while another is being shuttled into or out of the inspection cabinet.

"RVSI has led the market in BGA scanning, with over 75 installations worldwide," commented Earl Rideout, Vice President - General Manager. "The introduction of the GS-5000 Series signals our ongoing commitment to providing today's high volume BGA customers with the highest throughput available." Machine vision-based products such as those developed by RVSI are becoming essential tools in the global demand for improved manufacturing productivity and quality.

RVSI's Electronics Division designs, develops, manufactures and markets advanced three-dimensional vision based inspection and measurement products.
