Yamaha Motor Launches High-end Hybrid AOI System
September 19, 2017 | Yamaha Motor IMEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Yamaha Motor Europe IM has launched the YSi-V 12M TypeHS2 high-end hybrid AOI system. As the successor to the YSi-V 12M TypeHS, this new very high-speed specification model features increased speed and precision, as well as enhanced specular component inspection capacity/performance.
Development of the YSi-V 12M TypeHS2 aimed for faster processing through improved image processing hardware and image inspection algorithms, and has achieved a more than a 20% increase in three-dimensional inspection speed compared to the existing model. In particular, the new model delivers a significant speed increase of approximately 40% compared to the existing model in printed circuit boards (PCBs) with many component mounting points.
New features include a high-precision mode, enabling capture of clear three-dimensional images. The high-precision 7 μm resolution type includes an all-new-design dedicated three-dimensional image capture projector optical system, significantly improving form reproducibility of extremely small-sized components down to 0201 (0.25 x 0.125mm), and increasing height measurement repeatability.
Furthermore, the optimization of image capture parameters and the employment of newly-developed algorithms has enabled inspection capacity/performance compatible with thin, highly-integrated WLCSP and FOWLP components, whose use on the market has risen dramatically since last year.
The YSi-V 12M TypeHS2 will be showcased at Productronica 2017, an electronics manufacturing and mounting technology exhibition to be held from November 14–17, 2017 in Munich, Germany.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
