True 3D Inspection Performance
The Zenith AOI Series is the only solution in the industry to base its inspection criteria according to IPC- 610 standards for electronic assembly acceptability requirements. It provides clear and concise AOI measurements to accurately identify multiple defects. Because it uses a quantitative True 3D measurement- based approach, the system delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
True 3D Inspection Performance : Missing Solder, Offset, Polarity, Upside Down, OCV/OCR, Solder Fillet, Billboarding, Lifted Lead, Lifted Body, Tombstone, Bridging, and more.
Tall Component Inspection
Due to the shadows cast upon shorter components near a tall part, measuring the board with tall components has been a challenge for AOIs for a long time. As an optional feature (9-Way Projection), the Zenith UHS handles components up to 25mm tall. The Zenith UHS overcomes component shadow challenges by incorporating multi-projection Moiré interferometry system.
warp compensation
Combining innovative vision algorithms and advanced optic technology, Koh Young overcomes the challenges of selective solder joint inspection with the highest reliability level.
Extra-long Applications
Evolving applications like LED lighting, electronic vehicles (EVs), communications, and even storage can challenge manufacturers, especially in terms of board length. The new USX series allows manufacturers to efficiently inspect boards up to 1,300mm long in a single pass and can be optionally configured to handle boards up to 1,800mm long.
