What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedKoh Young is a manufacturer of inspection equipment for the surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly process. The company produces three-dimensional solder paste inspection (SPI) systems and three-dimensional automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedKoh Young inspection machines use a three-dimensional measurement technique to inspect solder paste deposits and component placements. The systems project a structured light pattern onto the board and capture images from multiple angles to reconstruct height information.
The inspection process compares the measured three-dimensional data against predefined acceptance criteria to detect defects such as insufficient solder, bridging, or misalignment.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn an SMT assembly line, the solder paste inspection system is positioned immediately after the solder paste printing step to verify paste volume, height, and shape before component placement. The automated optical inspection system can be used after component placement to check for missing or misaligned components, or after reflow soldering to verify final solder joint quality.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedKoh Young SPI and AOI systems are used in the assembly of printed circuit boards for industries including consumer electronics, automotive, medical devices, and telecommunications.
The machines inspect solder paste deposits, component presence and orientation, and solder joint quality on populated boards.

Frequently asked questions
Is operator training required to use such a system?General reference — not yet source-verified
Yes, operators typically require training on system setup, programming inspection recipes, interpreting results, and performing basic maintenance. However, the user interface is designed to be intuitive for experienced SMT personnel.
Can the inspection data be integrated into a factory's quality management system?General reference — not yet source-verified
Most systems in this class offer connectivity options such as network export of inspection data, statistical process control charts, and traceability features that allow integration with broader manufacturing execution systems.
What is the typical false call rate for such automated inspection systems?General reference — not yet source-verified
False call rates vary by application and programming quality, but well-tuned systems aim to keep false positives low to avoid unnecessary manual rechecking. Advanced algorithms and learning capabilities help reduce false calls over time.
