August 21, 2024 | Altus GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Altus Group, a leading supplier of capital equipment for the electronics manufacturing industry in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce the successful installation of a second Koh Young Zenith 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system at Active-PCB Solutions. This latest investment highlights Altus’ commitment to providing innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency and quality in the Electronics Manufacturing Services sector.
Active-PCB Solutions, a leading contract electronics manufacturer, previously invested in the Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+ AOI two years ago, achieving outstanding results with the initial system. Pleased with its performance, the company has now expanded its capabilities by adding a second unit. This new investment will further enhance their inspection processes, enabling comprehensive 3D inspection and meeting the demanding standards of modern electronics manufacturing.
Luke Minnis, Manufacturing Product and Process Engineer at Active-PCB, said: "I have been a Koh Young and Altus partner for many years now, and we are really happy to keep building on our partnership and to bring in another 3D AOI. This investment is a clear sign of our ambitions for the future and our desire to implement the best-in-class processes at our facility."
Anthony Oh, Technical Applications Manager at Altus Group, said: "It is always gratifying to receive repeat orders from our partners. This ultimately means the machine is generating the expected return on investment they had planned. Active-PCB is a significant player in the UK CEM space, so to have their continued trust and investment is something we are very proud of. We look forward to continuing to support them as they leverage the AOI platform to drive further improvements in their manufacturing processes."
The Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+ is known for its high-speed, AI-driven 3D measurement capabilities. With a 4-projector setup using Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, the system offers 15-micron resolution and full 3D metrology up to 25mm in height. These advanced features ensure precise and reliable inspection of complex assemblies, meeting rigorous quality standards.
