Koh Young America to Highlight 3D Inspection Solutions for the Smart Factory at SMTAI
August 27, 2019 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Koh Young America will highlight its industry-leading Full 3D inspection solutions and next-generation closed-loop Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) at SMTA International on September 24-25 in Rosemont, Illinois. The company cordially invites show and conference attendees to visit booth 609 and learn how industry-leading 3D measurement systems and closed-loop process solutions from Koh Young America can help improve production throughput and yield.
At the show, Koh Young America will demonstrate the industry’s fastest true 3D measurement and inspection solution. The 8030-3 Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) solution and analytics to eliminate false calls and boost throughput. We will also highlight our flagship aSPIre3 with a feature set suitable for myriad challenges in demanding production environments in-line at booth 823 with Fuji America. These systems continue to raise the benchmark standards in the industry.
The award-winning Koh Young Zenith Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solution will complement the revolutionary SPI equipment. Consisting of multiple models targeting different production needs, Koh Young will highlight the Zenith platform – the world’s best-selling and first True 3D AOI. The hardware technology and measurement algorithms within the Zenith series work together to identify defect sources and provide accurate inspection of components, joints, and more, regardless of the model.
Using its world-class 3D AOI measurement technology as the foundation, Koh Young designed the KY-P3 to overcome longstanding industry challenges with automated pin inspection. Combining its advanced high-resolution optics with innovative vision algorithms, the Koh Young KY-P3 provides accurate pin inspection for single pin, array, forked, press-fit, and other pin arrangements. Following its vision to “Measure Everything, Everywhere,” the new Koh Young KY-P3 delivers true 3D inspection capabilities for automotive, industrial, and other verticals, including backplanes and connector assembly processes.
Smart Factory Solution
Koh Young is leading the effort to harness the power of connectivity and create a smart factory. For instance, its Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO), which is using AI-powered machine learning, includes interlinking software modules that exercise complex algorithms to develop closed-loop process recommendations. The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity drives the smart factory vision one step further by enabling automatic SMT line adjustments. Finally, working with its printer and mounter partners, Koh Young has developed the connectivity
tools to connect with multiple suppliers and simplify communication across the entire PCBA line. In fact, Koh Young was named one of the 10 Most Innovative Smart Factory Solution Providers to Watch in 2019 and earned a position in “Headlines 500”, an annual list of the fastest-growing U.S. companies. As the recognized leader in electronics measurement and inspection, Koh Young continues to expand its capabilities to solve industry challenges and improve the measurement industry.
