Koh Young Expands AOI Capabilities to Backend Process
November 9, 2017 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young Technology will demonstrate new backend process AOI capabilities with the KY-P3 3D pin inspection solution at productronica 2017, which will be held on November 14-17 in Munich, Germany. Koh Young will be in Hall A2 Booth 377.
Using its world-class 3D AOI technology as the foundation for development, Koh Young designed the KY-P3 to overcome longstanding industry challenges like lengthy programming time and high false call rates. Following its guidance, the new Koh Young KY-P3 delivers true 3D inspection data for single array, forked, press-fit and more pin configurations as well as applications like Final Optical Inspection (FOI) for engine control units. The system also measures pin height, solder height and pin tip separation with accuracy and repeatability.
Beyond pin measurement and inspection capabilities, the new KY-P3 incorporates the latest technologies to make programming faster and easier. The Koh Young Artificial Intelligence-driven Auto Programming software allows users to quickly generate inspection condition setting using our leading-edge Artificial Intelligence engine and optimized graphical user interface.
The known leader in electronics measurement and inspection, Koh Young is expanding its technology beyond the PCB industry. For example, the new MOI (Machining Optical Inspection) system is quickly being adopted by some of the industry’s largest smartphone makers. Koh Young is achieving its guiding vision “Measure Everything, Everywhere.”
As the absolute leader in the SPI and AOI market, Koh Young will display a broad display innovations, as well as participate in several show activities, including topical roundtable discussions and interviews on the smart factory and inspection process.
