“Using our world-class True3D™ AOI technology, we designed the award-winning KY-P3 to overcome pin inspection challenges like high false call rates and escapes,” commented Gustavo Jimenez, Regional Sales Manager at Koh Young. “The KY-P3 provides an automated solution combining advanced high-resolution optics with innovative AI-powered algorithms for automated pin inspection. I look forward to discussing how we deliver unmatched capabilities that directly help automotive and connector assembly applications,” concluded Gustavo.
Incorporating the world’s first full 3D quad-projection probe, the system delivers shadow-free measurement of SMDs and pins up to 25mm tall. Additionally, the “Stop-and-Go” movement allows it to capture 3D measurement data without system vibration, image stitching, or data interpolation. The KY-P3s deliver reliable 3D measurement results with superior accuracy to boost your productivity and reduce costs.
Ideal for single pin, array, forked, press-fit, and more configurations, the KY-P3 quickly and accurately measures pin height, presence/absence, offset, shoulder height (absolute and relative), and coplanarity. It also measures the critical distance between features in absolute and relative terms, as well as inner/outer wall distances and pin separation. The system is even capable of solder paste height measurement and users are deploying it for Final Optical Inspection (FOI) of engine control units. Because the solution uses a measurement-based approach, the KY-P3 accuracy and repeatability are unsurpassed.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
