A Better Solution to Overcome Inspection Challenges

The structure and morphology of printed circuit boards (PCBs) are becoming increasingly fine and complex. Therefore, the role of AOI equipment in electronics production lines is becoming increasingly important. Inspection equipment from other companies—whether 2D, 2.5D, or 3D—can only address issues such as false calls and escapes. Koh Young’s Zenith series, however, offers 3D inspection and provides reliable solutions not only for false calls and escapes, but also in inspection environments that ordinary AOI equipment has difficulty measuring, such as tall components and adjacent low components.

Outstanding 3D Inspection Performance

The Zenith AOI series delivers inspection results in compliance with IPC-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies).
Powered by Koh Young's 3D measurement inspection technology, it delivers not only superior component quality inspection but also a broader inspection coverage. (3D measurement items: missing solder, offset, polarity, flipped component, OCV/OCR, solder fillet, side-standing, lifted lead, body tilt, tombstone, bridging, etc.)
Quantitative True 3D measurement–based inspection delivers outstanding accuracy and repeatability.

IPC-based Solder Joint Inspection

With Koh Young's vision algorithm technology, the Zenith series accurately measures solder joint height. Even when dealing with shadowing or mutual reflection issues, it provides inspection result values based on IPC-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies), delivering more reliable inspection results.

AI-Powered Auto-Programming (KAP: Koh Young Auto-Programming)

Combining advanced 3D profilometry with artificial intelligence (AI), it delivers true auto-programming. Powered by Koh Young's innovative 3D geometry-based auto-programming, it recommends inspection conditions based on 3D measurement data, significantly reducing operator programming time.

KSMART Solution: True 3D Measurement–Based Process Control System

Koh Young pioneered "True 3D Measurement Technology" 20 years ago, opening the way to a "zero-defect" future. This gave rise to the KSMART solution and its ongoing leverage of data and connectivity.
Focusing on data management, analysis, and optimization, KSMART Solutions enables process automation with AI assistance. It collects data across the entire factory line to detect defects, optimize in real time, enhance judgment and traceability, and improve processes—driving higher quality and lower costs by eliminating variation, false calls, and escapes.

AI-Based Real-Time Process Optimization Solution (KPO Mounter)

Koh Young is dedicated to supporting intelligent production lines that enable zero-defect manufacturing. Based on Koh Young's 3D measurement and inspection results, KPO is an AI-based real-time process optimization solution that uses key process variables identified through Deep Learning to analyze and optimize the mounting process.
It identifies the root cause of mounting defects in each module of the mounting process (head, nozzle, feeder, tray, component, etc.). Powered by Koh Young's AI technology and combined with process defect cause analysis, KPO Mounter helps users take fast, accurate corrective actions. Along with the KPO Printer solution, we can help you improve production quality and productivity on your line.
