EAP & Optilia Demo Optical Inspection System at APEX Expo

Online, February 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - DAYTON, OH-Electronic Assembly Products (EAP) is now representing and distributing Optilia brand high-definition optical inspection systems in the United States. EAP provides sales and support for the W10x-HD and W20x-HD camera systems for use in precision inspection, repair and quality control departments.

The W10x-HD is a full high definition inspection system that allows the user to view objects on a monitor up to 70 times their actual size. The W20x-HD is a similar high-definition system that provides additional magnification for a smaller field of view up to 200 times the actual product size. The W20x-HD is used for very small products and components that are not able to be thoroughly inspected with regular human vision. The W10x-HD and W20x-HD assist the user in examining connections, soldered joints, defects and inconsistencies on the production line. When connected to a 1080p monitor, Optilia's inspection systems provide crisp resolution and high contrast, aiding in identifying quality issues in precision products.

"Inspection work requires focused skill and concentration," says John Johnson of EAP, authorized US distributor for Optilia. "The high definition output of the W10x-HD and W20x-HD systems are designed to make the work easier for manufacturers by reducing time spent inspecting products and helping the user identify significant production imperfections."

Optilia optical inspection systems are suitable for the following applications:
-Invasive medical device manufacturing, such as catheters and stents.
-Precision tooling.
-Contact lens and eye care product manufacturing.
-Printed circuit board (PCB) production, repair and rework.
-Fiber optic cable production.
-Hypodermic needles and syringe fabrication.
-Post production inspection.
-Industrial test and measurement.
-Micromechanical research, design and development

Additional lenses can be attached to the inspection systems, increasing magnification. Optilia also offers several options for mounts, stands, handles, switches, controllers and OptiPix software to increase ergonomics and functionality. Working distance ranges from approximately 55 - 245 millimeters (2-10 inches) to provide clearance for a variety of object sizes. The systems also include a laser pointer to help the user locate the inspection area.

EAP will be exhibiting at IPC's APEX Expo at the San Diego Convention Center, February 28- March 1, 2012. "APEX is an ideal forum to connect with manufacturers and demonstrate the W10x-HD and W20x-HD systems," says Johnson. "We're inviting manufacturers across all industries to bring a product sample to our booth 937 to see the improvement high definition makes to the inspection process."
