Koh Young Showcases Award-winning Inspection Solutions at SMTconnect with SmartRep in Hall 4A.225
April 25, 2024 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Koh Young Technology, the industry leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, will showcase an array of award-winning inspection and measurement solutions at SMTconnect alongside its sales partner, SmartRep, in booth 4A.225 at NürnbergMesse from June 11-13, 2023. The following offers a glimpse into what Koh Young will present at the tradeshow:
Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)
In 2002, we introduced the concept of 3D measurement-based solder paste inspection, revolutionizing the industry. Today, manufacturers recognize the value of 3D measurement data, utilizing it to enhance the print process, thus improving production yield and quality. 3D SPI has now become a standard requirement for SMT lines, no longer optional. The KY8030-2 serves as our SPI workhorse, the most popular SPI solution in the electronics manufacturing market. Featuring patented dual-projection technology, we provide reliable measurement data, enabling manufacturers to optimize the print process effectively.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
The Koh Young 3D AOI Zenith Alpha HS+ represents a True 3D inspection solution powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, combining top-notch mechatronics and algorithm technologies to deliver outstanding performance without compromising accuracy. In the realm of 2D and hybrid 3D inspection, false calls and escapes often result from inferior inspection technologies. To address this, we adopted a distinct approach, basing our AOI on full 3D measurement technology. Our solution does not stem from a 2D inspection methodology; it was conceived from the outset to provide unmatched inspection capabilities, eliminating false calls and field escapes. At Koh Young, the Zenith measures all components in True 3D, assessing the component body based on genuine 3D profilometric information. This approach ensures dependable inspection results, irrespective of component or board color variations. When combined with our AI engine and machine learning algorithms, our 3D measurement data enables manufacturers to benefit from autonomous processes and automated programs, including smart review, aiding operators in identifying issues accurately.
Smart Factory Solutions
AI-powered KSMART solutions facilitate process control automation, emphasizing data management, analysis, and optimization. It gathers data from across the factory for defect detection, real-time optimization, informed decisions, and traceability, enhancing production, elevating quality, and reducing costs by eliminating variances, false calls, and escapes.
To discover how our solutions can enhance your quality, visit SmartRep and us at SMTconnect in booth Hall 4A 225 at NürnbergMesse from June 11-13, 2024. If you're unable to attend the show, you can still explore more about our best-in-class inspection solutions at www.kohyoung.com.
