Test Research, Inc. (TRI), the leading test and inspection systems provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, will join the SMTA Wisconsin Expo 2025. The exhibition will take place on May 6, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee Airport, Wisconsin.
Visit TRI's stand to discuss how TRI's One Stop Solution for PCB Assembly Testing and Inspection is reshaping the SMT Industry. TRI's product line includes Optical Inspection (SPI, AOI, and AXI) and Board testing (ICT and MDA).
TRI's AXI solutions, TR7600 Series, offer full-coverage defect detection capabilities, High Multi-Resolution 2 - 30 µm, AI-powered inspection algorithms, and inline fine-tuning capabilities. Unlike competitors, TRI's X-ray inspection solutions secure the sample on the conveyor while inspecting it, preventing further damage. The TR7600 Series satisfies the inspection needs of the electronics manufacturing industries such as Advanced Packaging, Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications, and Medical. The AXI series can also inspect large boards of up to 2100 x 510 mm. The 3D CT AXI equipment ensures meticulous inspection across various components, including BGA, QFN, SiP, PTH, PoP, C4 Bumps, and more.
