Koh Young is Highlighting NEW True 3D Inspection Solutions at SMTA Guadalajara
October 9, 2019 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 3 minutes

Koh Young Mexico will highlight its industry-leading Full 3D inspection solutions and next-generation closed-loop Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) at the Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum during 23-24 October at the EXPO in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
The company cordially invites show and conference attendees to visit booth 227 and learn how industryleading 3D measurement systems and closed-loop process solutions from Koh Young can improve production throughput and yield.
8030-3 3D SPI Solution
At the show, Koh Young 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 product portfolio with Mexican sales partner Repstronics in booth 233. There, users can receive additional demonstrations for demanding production environments.
Zenith 3D AOI Solution
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.
KY-P3 API Solution
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 KYP3 delivers true 3D inspection capabilities for automotive, industrial, and other verticals, including backplanes and connector assembly processes.
New Zenith Alpha
Koh Young America proudly introduces its latest True 3D AOI platform – the Zenith Alpha. Driven by the increasing need to inspect and measure boards at faster speeds, Koh Young leveraged its award-winning and proven technologies to deliver this new solution. The Zenith Alpha is suitable for myriad manufacturers, including smaller companies just realizing how 3D measurement can improve the board assembly process yield.
The Zenith Alpha incorporates a “Smart and Dynamic” feature set, plus quality optimization technologies stemming from the True 3D AOI expertise. Consequently, the Zenith Alpha benefits from proven technologies from the industry leader. The machine has concentrated that technological insight to increase process performance and reduce line downtime.
At the same time, its inherent True 3D inspection capabilities help manufacturers methodically collect, analyze, and manage data in real-time to dynamically formulate a multifaced view of the assembly process. In turn, releasing optimized results that will transform the manufacturing floor into a smart factory with higher production yields. The Zenith Alpha provides reliable 3D measurement and supports the latest factory optimization solutions from Koh Young.
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.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
