Saki Corporation, an innovator in the field of automated optical and X-ray inspection equipment, will be once again exhibiting at Smart SMT & PCB Assembly 2024, an annual trade exhibition focused on semiconductor surface mount/printed circuit board manufacturing to be held in Suwon, Korea from February 21 to 23, 2024. Show visitors are invited to visit booth I 102 to discover Saki’s latest automated inspection solutions including SPI, AOI and the award-winning X-ray Automated Inspection System (AXI).
As a total solution for in-line automated inspection for SMT processes, Saki's latest hardware and software will demonstrate the high-speed, high-precision automated inspection capability realized by Saki's latest hardware and software.
Alongside its co-exhibitors JS TECH and H&J Corporation, the Saki technology team will present the company’s latest equipment lineup for high-speed, high-precision SPI-AOI-AXI in-line inspection:
- 3Xi-M110 (AXI) - the industry's fastest automated X-ray inspection solution and winner of a Global Technology Award 2023;
- 3Di-LS3 (AOI) - advanced AOI with on-site camera module upgrade capability;
- 3Di-LS2 (AOI) - with 18µm resolution camera module;
- 3Si-LS2 (SPI) - same rigid gantry structure and drive unit as AOI providing high-speed, high-precision solder inspection;
- BF-Sirius (2D-AOI) - benchtop 2D-AOI with UV illumination for conformal coating inspection.
In addition to its machine solutions, Saki will also present its versatile software suite which works with the equipment to form a total solution for quality inspection:
- One Programming / Saki Link function (reference exhibit) - Software system for batch operation and centralized management of SPI, AOI, and AXI on a line-by-line basis;
