Saki Presents 3D AOI Side-Angle Optics and Lighting Technology at NEPCON Thailand
June 16, 2016 | Saki CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Saki Corporation, an innovator in the field of automated optical inspection equipment, will present its 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment with innovative side-angle cameras and ring lighting technology at NEPCON Thailand 2016, held June 22-25, 2016, at BITEC in Bangkok, Thailand. Saki's 2D AOI system for simultaneous double-sided PCB inspection will also be on display.
Saki's BF-3Di-L1 3D AOI system has a new optical head, side-angle cameras, and 4-stage ring lighting for optimum illumination and better visual image capture and measurement of the printed circuit board assembly, for all PCB configurations. The circular lighting gives more consistent illumination throughout the field of view, with brightness controlled and shadows eliminated no matter the height or density of the components. Side cameras capture angles to show side views that previously weren't visible. The result is improved accuracy and reliability. This system inspects heights up to 20mm and parts as small as 01005s, capturing reversed or inclined components with an escape of less than 1 ppm. It can be used for simple set-ups, like golden board comparisons, or with its full algorithm-based capabilities for full measurement and inspection.
The BF-10BT 2D offline AOI system simultaneously inspects both sides of the circuit board with user-selectable 10μm and 20μm dual-resolution, for the ultimate in double-sided PCB inspection. Its robust and highly repeatable hardware is built for 24/7 continuous operation. It inspects 01005 (0402) components and detects solder balls down to 150 microns with high speed and superior data handling. It can be used for final inspection, through-hole inspection after wave or selective soldering, or manual inspection.
"Exhibiting at NEPCON Thailand is a great way for us to show our new AOI systems to a larger number of people in Thailand and the Asia Pacific region," said Francis Wong, managing director of Saki Asia Pacific, Thailand. "Thailand has long been an important market for Saki. We have both an office and sales rep here."

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.
