Pemtron to Show AOI in New Light at the SMTA Queretaro Expo
June 13, 2023 | Pemtron TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Pemtron Technology, an inspection equipment developer and supplier, is pleased to announce plans to exhibit at the SMTA Queretaro Expo and Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, July 13, 2023 at the EXPO HALL Hotel Misión Juriquilla. Jaime Arreola, Pemtron’s MX General Manager, will be available at the event to meet with customers and discuss the company's cutting-edge Athena 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) System and TROI 8800 CI Series Conformal Coating Inspection System.
“We are excited to participate in the SMTA Queretaro Expo and have the opportunity to connect with our valued customers,” said Arreola. “Our Athena 3D AOI System and TROI 8800 CI Series Conformal Coating Inspection System offer advanced inspection capabilities to enhance quality control in electronics manufacturing. We look forward to discussing these solutions and how they can address specific industry needs.”
The Athena 3D AOI System is equipped with 12-way projection for 3D measurements, minimizing errors caused by shadow effects. It performs 100 percent of 2D and 3D inspection concurrently in all field of view (FOV) areas, resulting in reduced false calls and near-perfect defect detection. The system features a resolution of 10/15 or 18um, a 10MP camera (optional 12MP), and a three-stage conveyor. It is designed to deliver exceptional inspection accuracy and efficiency.
“Pemtron’s Athena 3D AOI System sets new standards in inspection performance,” added Arreola. “Its advanced features, such as the 12-way projection and concurrent 2D and 3D inspection, ensure precise defect detection and minimize false calls. This system is an invaluable tool for improving quality control in electronics manufacturing.”
Pemtron’s TROI 8800 CI Series Conformal Coating Inspection System, with optional inline Coating Thickness Measure, provides reliable inspection of conformal coating. With its user-friendly programming, the machine can effectively detect defects such as cracks, coating voids, and incorrect coating thickness (both too thin and too thick). This system enables manufacturers to achieve consistent and high-quality conformal coating application.

Learning With Leo: UHDI—The Next Leap in PCB Manufacturing
11/05/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoHigh density interconnect (HDI) technology has been a cornerstone of miniaturized electronics since Hewlett-Packard introduced the first chip-scale implementation in 1982. Over time, HDI processes became central to organic flip-chip packaging in the semiconductor industry. Today, the convergence of IC substrates and system-level PCBs has accelerated the adoption of UHDI.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Technology and Automated Inspection
11/03/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsFollowing up on the last article on integrating ultra high density interconnect (UHDI) PCB technologies and Quality 5.0, here we will do a deeper dive into the automated inspection component. UHDI applications demand extreme precision, with line/space dimensions below 25 µm and microvias below 30 µm. Automated inspection systems are essential to achieving the defect-free fabrication required at these scales, and legacy automated inspection systems are becoming obsolete and ineffective.
