Koh Young to Show AI-based Inspection Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO 2019
December 20, 2018 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young Technology will show advanced artificial intelligence-based inspection solutions at the IPC APEX Expo during 29-31 January 2019. As ‘Your Partner for Smart Factory Realization,’ Koh Young will feature its new Zenith 2 AOI platform, which adapts the Koh Young artificial intelligence (AI) engine to simplify programming and extend inspection coverage.
The Zenith 2 combines Koh Young’s advanced vision algorithms with innovative side-view optics for SMT industry applications. The latest platform incorporates Koh Young’s side view inspection technology that expands component height measurement and further enhances defect identification capabilities. Zenith 2 can quickly detect and analyze defects across a wide range of components, including leadless chips, connectors, SOJs, and QFNs.
Additionally, the next-generation 3D AOI is more efficient than its predecessor with AI-powered features like Koh Young Auto Programming (KAP). The Auto Programming AI engine proposes the recommended inspection conditions based on 3D measured data, which not only simplifies inspection condition programming, but makes it faster. KAP reduces job preparation by up to 70 percent, which makes it an ideal solution for high-mix, low-volume applications.
Additionally, Koh Young will show how AI can be used to improve image quality. Restoring noisy images is an important processing step in many SMT applications, which allows accurate measurement and analysis. Koh Young’s latest AOI system presents a new quality-guided approach for denoising 3D images by improving height data quality with AI algorithms.
As the absolute leader in the SPI and AOI markets, Koh Young will display a broad sample of its latest developments, as well as participate in several show activities, including topical roundtable discussions and interviews on the smart factory and inspection process. If you cannot attend the show to visit Koh Young at booth 1908.

IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
