Viscom

Viscom is a German technology company that designs and manufactures inspection systems for electronics manufacturing. The company specializes in automated optical inspection (AOI), solder paste inspection (SPI), and automated X-ray inspection (AXI). Its equipment is used to inspect printed circuit boards and other electronic assemblies on production lines, with the aim of detecting defects such as misplacements, insufficient or missing solder, solder bridging, and voids in joints.

Viscom's product portfolio includes 2D and 3D AOI systems, 2D and 3D SPI systems, inline metrology, and AXI systems for inspection of solder joints, lattice structures, and packaging. Some systems combine multiple inspection modalities, enabling simultaneous analysis of surface features and internal structures. The company also offers software for data analysis, defect classification, and production-line integration.

Applications span consumer electronics, automotive, industrial equipment, and medical devices, with a focus on improving yield, traceability, and process control. Viscom emphasizes compatibility with SMT equipment, rework stations, and flow metrology to support end-to-end quality assurance.

Viscom is headquartered in Germany and operates internationally through subsidiaries and a network of distributors. Since its founding in the late 20th century, the company has expanded its research and development to advance 3D imaging, lighting, and imaging algorithms, maintaining a technology-driven position in the PCB inspection market.
