CyberOptics Brings 3D Sensing Technology to NEPCON China
March 26, 2019 | CyberOptics CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
CyberOptics Corporation, a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-precision 3D sensing technology solutions, will exhibit at NEPCON China, scheduled to take place April 24-26, 2019 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. The company will demonstrate the MRS-Enabled 3D SQ3000 with multi-process capabilities including 3D AOI, SPI and CMM applications in Booth # 1E52 and 1E54.
The SQ3000, deemed best-in-class, has been widely used for 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and can be used for 3D solder paste inspection (SPI) for the best accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility—even on the smallest paste deposits.
Additionally, the SQ3000 can be used to attain highly accurate coordinate measurements faster than a traditional Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM)—in seconds, not hours. The world’s first in-line CMM includes a comprehensive software suite for use in industrial metrology, semiconductor, microelectronics and SMT applications.
“Customers worldwide have been rapidly adopting the SQ3000 and recognizing it as the premier process control solution, particularly for the most challenging applications,” said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, President and CEO, CyberOptics. “The MRS-enabled multi-function system can identify critical defects and measure critical parameters, in order to fix what can be found and control what can be measured. Ultimately, we’re enabling significant improvements in yields, quality and operational efficiencies in their manufacturing facilities.”
The SQ3000 offers a combination of unmatched accuracy and speed with the industry-leading Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) sensor technology that meticulously identifies and rejects reflections caused by shiny components and surfaces. Effective suppression of multiple reflections is critical for highly accurate measurement, making the proprietary MRS technology an ideal solution for a wide range of applications with exacting requirements.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
