At the Koh Young booth H15.H11, we will highlight the award-winning Neptune C+ for True 3D in-line dispensing process inspection. The Neptune is the industry’s first 3D optical measurement solution for transparent material inspection. Using Koh Young’s L.I.F.T. technology (Laser Interferometry for Fluid Tomography), the Neptune delivers non-destructive 3D inspection to precisely measure and inspect wet or dry materials. With its Machine-Learning algorithm, the Neptune accurately measures materials for coverage, thickness, and consistency with user-defined threshold settings. It also identifies bubbles, cracks, and other defects in coatings. It measures underfill, epoxy, bonding, glue, potting, flux, and more, providing exact measurements of transparent and translucent materials.

Additionally, we will unveil a brand-new automated optical inspection (AOI) solution dedicated to helping quality-conscious manufacturers adopt celebrated Koh Young inspection technology at a more economical price point. Koh Young will also show how KSMART turns data into insight using AI-powered solutions to help automate process control. Focusing on data management, analysis, and optimization, it collects data from across the factory for defect detection, real-time optimization, enhanced decision-making, and traceability to improve production, increase quality, and lower costs by eliminating false calls and escapes.

In booth H14.C01, NMTronics will highlight the best-selling SPI and AOI machines in India. For SMT AOI, schedule a demonstration on the Zenith Alpha, our value-based True 3D AOI. It delivers perfect inspection performance with True 3D measurement technology. Based on full 3D measurement technology from the development phase, it avoids the shortcomings of adding 3D to 2D technology. This approach provides trustworthy inspection results, regardless of component or board color variations. When our 3D measurement data meets artificial intelligence, we deliver even more advantages to manufacturers.

Complementing the AOI is the KY8080 solder paste inspection (SPI) machine. Delivering an ideal mix of cost and performance, the KY8080 provides the best value for a varied set of application needs that demand enhanced product quality, increased productivity, and improved operational efficiency.

At booth H15.F01, Panasonic will display additional Koh Young SPI and AOI models. In addition to the Zenith Alpha AOI machine, Panasonic will display our KY8030-2.
