3D AOI No More False Calls or Escapes. No More Ambiguity!
It’s AOI like you’ve never seen before – Fast, Flawless. And in Real 3-D.
True 3D measurement is the key to the amazing fl awless performance that you can expect from the revolutionary Zenith 3D AOI system from Koh Young Technology.
Zenith measures the Z-axis profi lometry of whole PCB assemblies, including components, leads, and solder joints. It’s the only AOI system available that’s measurement-based; now you can confi rm - without any ambiguity - that your products meet IPC Standards!
there is no uncertainty about the acceptability of the solder joint per the IPC standard.
• Eight-way Light Projection and Z-axis Measurement for True 3D Profi lometry
• No False Calls – No Escapes – No Shadows • Identifi es and fl ags all defects! • No Golden Board Needed! • Measurement-based IPC-A-610 Reference • Enhanced PCB Warpage Compensation • Short programming time, NO fi ne tuning needed! • Inspection Parameters based on 3-D Measurement Data
Your process – and bottom line - demands consistent, reliable AOI performance. You don’t have to settle for the shortcomings of 2D AOI anymore! Measurement- based 3D AOI is the ultimate solution for perfect AOI performance and process optimization.
