Automatic coating inspection (AOI) system is used to protect coatings from corrosion of marine and offshore structures. Usually, coating breakdown and corrosion (CBC) assessment is considered a major parameter of coating failure management. Automatic coating inspection has proved beneficial for conformal coating (defined as a polymeric, thin, transparent coating) applied to the surface of a printed circuit assembly to deliver protection from the end-user environment. It is a quick process with minimum programming. A known good board is used to learn the non-coverage and coverage areas. Automated inspection usually takes not more than few seconds, with inspection results displayed instantaneously. These results can be stored and reviewed offline at any time. Automated coating inspection system has a number of features to control and monitor the process and to offer traceability, such as, viscosity control, fan width control flow monitoring, and a vision system.
