Financial Times Recognizes Koh Young as FT500 High-Growth Company
September 21, 2020 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Once again, Koh Young Technology, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, was recognized by the Financial Times as a FT500 High-Growth Company (Asia-Pacific). Established in 2002, Koh Young Technology pioneered a new market by launching the world’s first 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) system using a patented dual-projection Moiré technique. Since then, we have become a global leader with our 3D measurement-based inspection equipment, as well as a solutions provider that performs a key role in quality management and process optimization for various industries. Based on this differentiated technological competitiveness, we have secured thousands of customers, while maintaining the largest global market share in the 3D SPI and 3D AOI markets.
With an aim to quickly respond to the needs of global customers, Koh Young Technology, which has its headquarters in South Korea, established overseas sites in eight countries: United States, Mexico, Germany (covering Europe), Japan, Singapore, China, Vietnam, and Canada. Currently, our overseas sites are the basis for sales and service networks. Overseas sites are actively carrying out R&D activities, matching the regional needs of each country.
Based on the unrivaled competitiveness of our 3D measurement-based inspection technology, Koh Young Technology has developed 3D Machining and Assembling Optical Inspection (MOI), 3D Dispensing Process Inspection (DPI), Semiconductor Packaging Inspection (MEISTER Series), and Medical Robotic System for Brain Surgeries (KYMERO), in addition to our pioneering 3D SPI and 3D AOI systems for inspecting Surface Mount Technology (SMT). By developing such technologies, Koh Young Technology will continue its expansion in new business areas. Additionally, through customer-centric innovative R&D activities, we will discover future business items and, by doing so, take the lead in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
