“Using our world-class True3D™ AOI technology, we designed the award-winning KY-P3 to overcome pin inspection challenges like high false call rates and escapes,” commented Gustavo Jimenez, Regional Sales Manager at Koh Young. “The KY-P3 provides an automated solution combining advanced high-resolution optics with innovative AI-powered algorithms for automated pin inspection. I look forward to discussing how we deliver unmatched capabilities that directly help automotive and connector assembly applications,” 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 KY-P3s 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 KY-P3 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 uses a measurement-based approach, the KY-P3 accuracy and repeatability are unsurpassed.
