CyberOptics’ MRS-Enabled SE3000 3D SPI Receives NPI Award
February 28, 2018 | CyberOptics CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
CyberOptics Corporation today announced that it has been awarded a 2018 NPI Award in the category of Test and Inspection – SPI for its SE3000 Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) system. The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, February 27, 2018 ceremony that took place at the San Diego Convention Center during the IPC APEX EXPO.
The new SE3000 SPI system is the very first SPI system to incorporate the industry-leading Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) sensor technology with a finer resolution for the best accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility – even on the smallest paste deposits and 0201 metric components. Combined with the award-winning, easy-to-use software, solder paste inspection has reached a new level of precision for the most stringent requirements.
“We are very honored to receive the sixth award related to our proprietary MRS sensor technology, now integrated into our SE3000 SPI system,” said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, President and CEO, CyberOptics. “MRS technology has been delivering unprecedented inspection results that drives yield improvements for our customers with the most challenging requirements – for 3D AOI, metrology, semiconductor and now 3D SPI.”
SE3000 fully supports feedback and feed forward capability with leading Solder Paste Printer and SMT Mounter vendors respectively. SE3000-DD Dual lane, Dual sensor and SE3000-X for large board capability also are available. With simple configuration settings, SE3000 gives you the power to do more with SPI results - optimize printing process, establish stencil cleaning cycles and fine-tune printer setup. All of this means reduced rework costs, increased production throughput and improved yields.

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.
