Product Overview
About the Neptune C 2D Dispense Process Inspection System
The Neptune C is Koh Young’s 2D dispense process inspection system, for lines that need conformal coating, underfill and epoxy verified for presence and coverage rather than measured for thickness. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
Coverage, Verified
The Neptune C confirms that dispensed material is present, complete and free of defects across the board — the check that catches a missed bead or a gap in coverage before the assembly moves on.
Bubbles Without Teaching
AI-powered bubble detection identifies voids without an operator first showing the system what a bubble looks like, which is what makes the inspection practical on mixed or short runs.
Where Thickness Matters
If the process depends on how thick the coating is rather than whether it is there, the Neptune C+ measures it in 3D. The Neptune C is the 2D option in the same family.

Conformal coatings isolate and protect electronics, but if the coating is too thin or defective – failure. Koh Young LIFT technology (Laser Interferometry for Fluid Tomography) delivers non-destructive 3D inspection to precisely measure and inspect fluids – wet or dry.

FEATURES
Most optical systems use UV light to inspect the surface for presence and gauges to measure material thickness in a particular spot, which does not provide the accuracy and repeatability needed. Inspecting transparent materials proved to be a challenge due to the laser’s shallow penetration depth and elapsed time. Traditional laser-confocal or electron microscope systems measure three-dimensional shapes. Koh Young’s revolutionary Neptune C+ provides the ultimate solution to these challenges.
Dispense Process Inspection
Dispense Process Inspection (DPI) refers to the automated inspection of dispensing processes in manufacturing, where materials such as adhesives, coatings, sealants, or solder paste are applied to components or substrates. This inspection is crucial in various industries, including electronics manufacturing, automotive assembly, and pharmaceuticals, to ensure that the dispensed material meets precise specifications for volume, placement, and pattern.

Neptune C
Koh Young designed its new, cost-effective Neptune C for dispense process inspection (DPI) with a future-proof upgrade path. It allows manufacturers to secure fundamental coating technology to inspect for presence/absence, defects, foreign material, and more with a minimal investment. When the process changes (as they always do), they can field-retrofit our L.I.F.T. technology (Laser Interferometry for Fluid Tomography) for non-destructive True3D inspection through multiple fluid layers regardless of transparency – at production speeds. With its integrated flipper, intuitive programming, and machine-learning algorithms, Neptune C allows manufacturers to dive deep into the coating process using 2D, 3D, and cross-section views. Once retrofitted, the Neptune uses advanced algorithms to teach inspection parameters, measure coverage, thickness, and consistency, as well as bubbles, cracks, and more – even “keep out” areas. Besides coatings, it measures underfill, epoxy, bonding, potting, and flux, plus acrylic, silicone, polyurethane, water-based, UV-cure, and hybrid materials
