Free Spanish Webinar: Optimizing Pin Inspection Using True3D™ Technology from Koh Young
February 25, 2021 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, along with its Mexico sales partner Repstronics will deliver a free webinar on Wednesday, 03 March 2021 at 11:00 a.m. CST (GMT-6). Register and secure your seat in the virtual event to learn from how to reduce costs and increase yields with Koh Young.
“Using our world-class True3D™ AOI technology, we designed the awardwinning KY-P3 to overcome pin inspection challenges like high false call rates and escapes,” commented featured speaker Gustavo Jimenez, Regional Sales Manager at Koh Young. “The KY-P3 provides an automated solution combining advanced high-resolution optics with innovative AI-powered vision algorithms for automated pin inspection. I look forward to discussing how our KY-P3 delivers unmatched inspection capabilities that directly help high-volume applications, including automotive and connector assembly,” concluded Gustavo.
Incorporating the world’s first full 3D quad-projection probe, the system delivers shadow-free measurement of SMDs and pins up to 25mm tall. Additionally, the “Stop-and-Go” movement allows it to capture 3D measurement data without system vibration, image stitching, or data interpolation. The KYP3s deliver reliable 3D measurement results with superior accuracy to boost your productivity and reduce costs.
Ideal for single pin, array, forked, press-fit, and more configurations, the KYP3 quickly and accurately measures pin height, presence/absence, offset, shoulder height (absolute and relative), and coplanarity. It also measures the critical distance between features in absolute and relative terms, as well as inner/outer wall distances and pin separation. The system is even capable of
solder paste height measurement and users are deploying it for Final Optical Inspection (FOI) of engine control units. Because the solution employs a quantitative measurement-based approach, the KY-P3 accuracy and repeatability are unsurpassed.

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.
