REDDITCH, UK – Altus Group, a leading distributor of electronics assembly equipment in the UK and Ireland, has supported G&B Electronic Designs Ltd., a prominent EMS in the UK, in enhancing its inspection processes through the installation of the Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+. This advanced True 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system has strengthened G&B’s already strong commitment to maintaining high-quality standards in PCB assembly.

G&B Electronic Designs faced challenges with its previous 2D inspection system, which resulted in difficulties inspecting reflective and increasing complex components. In search of a more effective solution, they partnered with Altus and chose the Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+. The system addressed these challenges by utilising advanced fully 3D light metrology and proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms to provide precise inspections tailored for modern PCB designs.

The system features whole-board foreign material inspection, ensuring contaminants do not compromise assembly integrity, and can inspect components up to 25mm in height. Additionally, its AI-Powered Auto Programming (KAP) streamlines setup processes, reducing programming time and minimising human error.

Steve Tumber, Head of Operations at G&B Electronic Designs, said: “Koh Young's reputation for market-leading technology was well-known. After conducting thorough evaluations of key industry players, it became evident that the combination of Koh Young's technology, quality of testing data and Altus's support was the superior choice for our needs.”

Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group, said: “We are pleased to assist G&B Electronic Designs in improving their inspection capabilities.
