Marantz (MEK) automated optical inspection systems give ANZ electronics manufacturers a complete view of their boards using a 9-camera architecture: 8 angled side-view cameras and 1 high-resolution top camera. This configuration captures every angle of solder joints and components, ensuring reliable defect detection, fewer escapes, and faster root-cause analysis.
From desktop AOI for NPI and low–medium volumes to in-line PCB inspection solution for high-throughput SMT lines, Marantz delivers fast, repeatable inspection with rich SPC data and seamless MES integration. Proftek supplies, installs, and supports Marantz AOI across Australia and New Zealand.
ISO-Spector M2 is Marantz (Mek)’s flagship 3D SMT inspection system, built for the toughest SMT inspection demands. With advanced hardware and true AI, it delivers exceptional accuracy, rapid cycle times, and near-zero false calls.
The Mek PowerSpector Inline AOI system delivers maximum defect coverage with seamless SMT line integration. Featuring a 9-camera setup (1 top, 8 side) and selective 3D laser measurement, it ensures fast programming and reliable inspection of both SMT and THT components.
The Mek PowerSpector Desktop PCB inspection solution offers ultimate flexibility for SMT, THT, and mixed assemblies. Compact yet powerful, it features the same 9-camera architecture and selective 3D laser measurement, delivering fast setup, reliable defect coverage, and outstanding performance for prototypes, NPI, and low-to-medium volume production.
Mek’s Automated Optical Inspection solutions are built for smooth integration into SMT production lines or as flexible desktop systems. Inline models slot directly into manufacturing to provide real-time inspection feedback, while compact benchtop units are ideal for prototypes, NPI, low-volume runs, or R&D. Whatever the environment, these inspection platforms deliver consistent results and dependable defect coverage.
The PowerSpector platform combines advanced imaging with short programming times. With a 9-camera setup (1 high-resolution top camera and 8 angled side cameras), it inspects every angle of the PCB for complete coverage. High-quality optics and upgrade-ready modules make the system flexible, future-proof, and suitable for a wide range of SMT inspection applications.
A standout feature is Mek’s Selective 3D Laser Measurement Technology, which provides precise height measurements of components and solder joints. By referencing two points — a baseline and a target — the system delivers accurate data, allowing operators to identify issues such as lifted leads, insufficient solder, or coplanarity faults.
When production quality is critical, the JSAz AOI series is the most versatile option. With a top clearance of up to 60 mm, it easily accommodates tall components without compromising inspection coverage. A multi-angle lighting system improves solder meniscus profiling, while passive 3D capture produces full component images using all nine cameras.
The JSAz inspects both SMT and THT assemblies, checking for presence/absence, type, polarity, offset, colour, and solder quality. It supports multiple stages of the process — pre-reflow, post-reflow, post-wave, and post-selective soldering — as well as solder paste inspection and first article verification.
These AOI platforms combine telecentric high-resolution lenses, USB 3 Vision side cameras, and multi-angle lighting to generate crisp, high-definition images. Defects can be reviewed at repair stations with microscope-level clarity, improving classification and rework accuracy. With a durable mechanical design, ball-screw gantries, and several chassis options, they deliver fast PCB inspection with minimal maintenance.
