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.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
