Measured, Not Viewed
Measures pin height up to 20 millimetres along with presence, absence, offset, coplanarity and tip condition, to ±0.75 percent full-scale height linearity — the geometry a top-down camera check cannot resolve.
Four-Way Projection
A 4 or 8 megapixel camera at 15 micron resolution with four-way projection, in a 30 by 30 or 42 by 43 millimetre field of view, inspecting at 0.8 to 1 second per field.
Built for the Back End
Designed for press-fit connectors, power modules and ECU assemblies, where a pin out of tolerance typically passes electrical test and fails later in service.
KY-P3 – Inline Series
Based on its world-class True 3D AOI technology, new enhancements to the KY-P3 lineup provides an automated back-end solution combining advanced high-resolution optics and innovative AI-powered algorithms for Single Pin, Press-fit, Fork Pin, and pins inside a connector shroud.
