Koh Young Technology Receives Over €800K Worth of 3D Inspection System Orders from StarLine
June 5, 2017 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
3D inspection technology leader Koh Young Technology has announced a new contract worth more than €800,000 for its 3D AOI and SPI systems. The customer is StarLine, a manufacturer of automobile security equipment headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia. Founded in 1988, StarLine supplies specialized telematics security systems to more than 15 million vehicle owners worldwide.
In making the announcement, Harald Eppinger, General Manager for Koh Young Europe, stated, “These sizable orders make us believe that we should continue maintaining our market share in 3D AOI by providing continuous innovation.” Mr. Eppinger added that with this €800,000 order from a key OEM customer, StarLine, Koh Young adds another remarkable success to its portfolio. Koh Young Technology has earned a stellar reputation for providing reliable, responsive service to high-mix low-volume customers.
Equipment provided to StarLine will include Koh Young’s award-winning Zenith, the world’s first true 3D AOI system, an example of Koh Young’s successful pioneering innovation in inspection technology. Zenith completely changed the prevailing industry paradigm from 2D to 3D inspection technology, since it measures the true profilometric shape of components, solder joints, patterns and even foreign material on assembled PCBs, overcoming the traditional shortcomings of 2D AOI.
