NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming 2024 SMT Guadalajara Expo, scheduled to be held September 11-12, 2024 at the Expo Guadalajara Salón Jalisco in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. KYZEN will exhibit at Booth 402 and spotlight the powerful combination of Chemistry and Control, focusing on AQUANOX A4727, KYZEN E5631J, and the new KYZEN ANALYST2.
AQUANOX A4727 excels at cleaning printed circuit boards and advanced package assemblies when used in low concentrations. The award-winning A4727 has been proven effective in spray-in-air processes for cleaning all solder flux residues, including difficult Pb-free and no- clean formulations. The chemical compatibility of AQUANOX A4727 includes a variety of components, coatings, labels and equipment while the solution boasts a long bath life and superior rinsability.
The ready-to-use understencil wipe KYZEN E5631J is a safe and effective alternative to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for the removal of raw solder paste from stencils in both online and offline cleaning processes. E5631J is compatible with common stencils, cleaning equipment, and printer manufacturers while remaining cost-effective by quickly and efficiently cleaning all types of raw solder pastes.
The KYZEN ANALYST2 is an advanced system that incorporates customer feedback for enhanced performance and utilizes sonic velocity technology for real-time concentration measurement. Unlike other sonic velocity instruments, the ANALYST2 provides more precise measurements by directly measuring concentration, offering fast and stable readings independent of the liquid's conductivity, color, or transparency. With a 0.1% resolution, the ANALYST2 is compatible with over 60 cleaning solutions, extending its utility beyond KYZEN chemistries.

KY8030-3 Industry's Fastest True 3D SPI Solution with Integrated Auto-Repair Dispenser We introduced the concept of 3D measurement-based solder paste inspection - and it revolutionized the inspection industry. Today, manufacturers recognize the value of 3D measurement data and use it to improve the print process, thereby enhancing production yield and quality. 3D SPI has become a standard requirement for SMT lines - it is no longer optional. The KY8030-3 is our SPI workhorse and the most popular SPI solution in the electronics manufacturing market. With patented dual-projection technology, we deliver trustworthy and repeatable measurement data, which manufacturers can use to reliably optimize the print process.
KPO Printer Award-winning AI-powered print process control software The Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) solution is an AI-based automatic print process optimizer. This system improves the printer offset, as well as critical printer parameters like squeegee speed, print pressure, and separation speed. KPO performs an automated DOE to determine the optimum printing parameters for the best print quality. As a result, manufacturers can optimize the print process without the need for a dedicated print process expert. Furthermore, KPO monitors and perfects parameters in real-time to guarantee quality despite environmental changes.
Zenith Alpha Best Value True 3D Automated Optical Inspection Solution The Koh Young AOI Zenith Series delivers perfect inspection performance with True 3D measurement technology. In the 2D inspection world, false calls and escapes are unavoidable. To solve this problem, we took a different approach. We based our solution on full 3D measurement technology, not on 2D technology and its inherent shortcomings or 2D with some 3D capabilities bolted on to help. At Koh Young, the Zenith measures all components in True 3D. We find the component body based on true 3D profilometric information. Using this approach, we provide trustworthy inspection results, regardless of component or board color variations. When our 3D measurement data meets artificial intelligence, we can deliver even more advantages to manufacturers.
