TRI Sets New 3D AOI Standard with TR7700Q/TR7700QI Systems
December 2, 2015 | TRIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Test Research, Inc. (TRI), the leading test and inspection systems provider for the electronics manufacturing industry has unveiled a new generation 3D AOI solutions, setting the performance standard for 3D PCBA inspection. The new TR7700Q/TR7700QI systems are geared toward mainstream productions, easily handling both high volume and high mix manufacturing. Visit us at NEPCON Japan, ELECTROTEST booth E17-20 in Tokyo Big Sight from January 13-15, 2016 for a personal demo of the your next 3D inspection system.
The new mid-range TR7700Q series stop-and-go 3D AOI solution offers future-proof configurations for inspecting both large automotive components and mobile and PC applications including smallest 0250125mm/008004in chips used in wearables. TRI's engineers have eliminated compressed air from the automated intelligent conveyor (IACS), increasing system reliability, and lowering downtime, installation and maintenance costs.
TRI's redesigned 3D inspection system brings adaptive height resolution to optimize inspection accuracy based on the PCBA type. Using 8 programmable Digital Fringe Projections, the TR7700Q series readily finds solder shape and volume defects, coplanarity issues, lifted pins and chip position defects.
Discover how TRI’s new 3D AOI can improve your inspection capability and maximize inspection value in the production line. The latest intelligent programming software is designed to interoperate with other manufacturing equipment to minimize down times, optimize production quality and reduce operator work load. Visit us at NEPCON.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
