What is it?

The sources describe Koh Young’s 3D AOI series as an automated optical inspection system based on patented True 3D technology. It is presented as measuring the true profilometric shape of components, solder joints, patterns, and foreign material on assembled PCBs, with AI-powered capabilities, IPC-based solder-joint inspection, a side-view camera for expanded coverage, AI-powered auto-programming, self-diagnosis, and KSMART/KPO process-control features.

What can it run?

Process applications and technology nodes documented for this tool.

  • Inspection of assembled PCBs
  • Solder joint inspection
  • Inspection of leadless chips, connectors, SOJs, QFNs, and partially shielded components
