Koh Young Technology, the industry leader in the True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, is proudly announcing the grand opening of our new Yeoju production center in South Korea. “Last year marked our 20-year anniversary. During the past two decades, we have solidified our position as the manufacturing standard for SPI (solder paste inspection) and AOI (automated optical inspection) equipment across the electronics manufacturing industry,” said JD Shin, Chief Sales Officer at Koh Young. “With so many companies relying on us for their inspection needs, we needed to increase our production capacity to maintain customer satisfaction.”
Moving the production site has allowed for an expansive production space, which increases our production capacity by over 150 percent. The newly constructed facility is nearly twice the size of the previous factory and allows Koh Young to produce more than 6,000 machines per year before making any further process improvements.
With the growing customer demand for our products, this new capacity will ensure efficient manufacturing and faster order fulfillment. Aside from our industrial inspection division, which delivers products for electronics assembly, the new facility has dedicated space for our growing medical robotics division. Capable of producing over 260 medical systems annually, Koh Young can contribute to the revolution in medical technology for the benefit of mankind and society.

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.
