Test Research, Inc. (TRI) is pleased to introduce the Core Features 3D AOI, TR7700QC SII, equipped with essential inspection functionalities tailored for the electronics manufacturing industry.
The Core Features 3D AOI features user-friendly programming for easy setup, flexible IPC-610 inspection algorithms, optional AI-powered solutions, and compliance with the latest Smart Factory standards. Featuring a 12 MP High-Speed Camera, it offers four factory-setting configurations ranging from high-resolution 10 μm to high-speed 15 μm.
Powered by IPC-610-compliant algorithms, the 3D AOI system can inspect the most intricate solder joint defects, including THT components. Interactive 3D models help operators quickly review detected defects, such as lifted BGA components, IC leads, connectors, switches, and other mounted devices.
The TR7700QC SII also features the Multi-Step Function, enabling efficient inspection of both tall (up to 40 mm) and short components during the same inspection. The TR7700QC SII supports current Smart Factory Standards, including the IPC-CFX and The Hermes Standard (IPC-HERMES-9852).

IPC-CFX, 2.0: How to Use the QPL Effectively
07/02/2025 | Chris Jorgensen, Global Electronics AssociationIn part one of this series, we discussed the new features in CFX Version 2.0 and their implications for improved inter-machine communication. But what about bringing this new functionality to the shop floor? The IPC-CFX-2591 QPL is a powerful technical resource for manufacturers seeking CFX-enabled equipment. The Qualified Product List (QPL) helps streamline equipment selection by listing models verified for CFX compliance through a robust third-party virtual qualification process.
The Knowledge Base: A Conference for Cleaning and Coating of Mission-critical Electronics
07/08/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn electronics manufacturing, there’s a dangerous misconception that cleaning and coating are standalone options, that they operate in different lanes, and that one can compensate for the other. Let’s clear that up now. Cleaning and conformal coating are not separate decisions. They are two chapters in the same story—the story of reliability.
