Product Overview
About the Neptune USX Long-Board DPI System
The Neptune USX is the extended-length size of the Neptune C+, carrying the same True 3D thickness measurement to assemblies too long for a standard dispense process inspection machine. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
Built for Long Boards
The USX series inspects boards up to 1,300 millimetres in a single pass, with a longer configuration available, so large assemblies are covered without splitting the inspection into separate passes.
For High-Reliability Sectors
Long coated assemblies are common in automotive, aerospace, defence, energy and communications production, where conformal coating is applied precisely because the product has to survive its operating environment.
Same Measurement, Larger Format
The USX is a size of the Neptune C+, not a separate machine, so long-board lines get the same L.I.F.T. thickness measurement as a standard-length installation.

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.

TRUE 3d
The Neptune C+ is the industry’s first 3D in-line DPI and thickness measurement solution for transparent material inspection. The system allows manufacturers to explore the depths of its process and accurately identify defects with 2D, 3D, and cross-section views.
The system accurately measures materials for coverage, thickness, and consistency with user-defined threshold settings. It also inspects bubbles and other defects as small as 200-microns, even inspecting “keep out” areas for 100-micron splash marks.
L.I.F.T. Technology – PATENTED
The Koh Young L.I.F.T. technology delivers non-destructive 3D inspection to precisely measure and inspect fluids that are wet or dry. Based on low-coherence interferometry, L.I.F.T. employs Near Infrared (NIR) Light to capture images through multiple layers of a fluid structure regardless of transparency. This patented technology provides the most accurate and reliable 3D inspection across any surface – smooth, uneven, or rough.
Ai Power
With its proprietary machine learning technology, the Neptune C+ offers enhanced inspection capabilities enabling autonomous bubble inspection without teaching and endless tuning.
flexibility
Not limited to conformal coating, the Neptune C+ measures underfill, epoxy, bonding, glue, and more to deliver an accurate measurement of transparent, translucent, and pigmented materials. The system is currently suited for acrylic, silicone, polyurethane, water-based, UV-cure, and hybrid coatings with additional materials being investigated. The Neptune C+ handles several types of applications from research labs to high volume production.
innovative software
The Neptune C+ programming software provides a hands-on user interface, which emulates a simple raster graphics editor to allow intuitive programming with great flexibility.
Programming is further simplified with our wizard-based graphical user interface. All parameters can be adjusted for quick setup and fast changeovers.
