AlternativeSMT, the supplier of second-user surface-mount assembly machines for electronics manufacturing, has expanded into the area of automated optical inspection.

The company is now able to supply pre-owned machines such as the Teradyne 5539C, a 5-camera system designed to inspect boards measuring up to 457 x 508 mm for defects such as missing or misoriented components, lifted leads and solder problems.

As with alternativeSMT's surface-mount machinery division, all systems are refurbished and overhauled to the most exacting standards by the company's highly experienced team of engineers.

At AlternativeSMT's London headquarters, potential customers can see live demonstrations of the refurbished equipment, and the company also offers comprehensive training, installation, maintenance and full field support, with extended warranties that are the equivalent of the original manufacturer's guarantees.
