Pilot4D FXin-circuit and functional panel test platform is designed for panels. Shares test resources, moving a small, low-cost fixture from one board to another, eliminating the need to duplicate them in the system. Mechanical architecture permits the test head, which carries the fixture, to rotate to accommodate any configuration of panel layout. Is said to be fully implementable in an automated production line. State-of-the-art color camera has fiducial centering and can acquire the serial number of each single board within the panel. Integrated marker marks tested boards according to user-defined rules. Communicates with external databases, enabling full integration of the system into the user’s own production management environment. Has a 19" rack for integration of external instrumentation. Performs boundary scan, and communication management via standard protocols.

SCU-439 Scanner Unit and FMM-440 Fail Separation Unit read 2D, 3D and RFID codes. Separate failed products from the line immediately after testing or marks them for manual failed product handling. Adjustable machine functionality by modules selected based on current need, e.g. axis (topside, bottom-side, dual, none) or lift (integrated, external or none). Modules can be added or changed later, allowing updates for future needs. New products can be configured offline and imported to a production line machine. SCU-439 sends code data through RS232 or Ethernet to the next process unit that needs the identification. FMM-440 receives product-related PASS/FAIL data from process equipment via an Ethernet connection and saves the information in a local data table. Further, FMM-440 marks failed products with temporary stickers or separate the PASS and FAIL products by routing them to a different conveyor level. SCU-439 and FMM-440 meet CE and IPC-SMEMA-9851 standards.

KSMART Integrated Technology Solution comprehensive productivity and process control center includes KSMART Remote Monitoring System (RMS), KSMART Link, and others. Comprises an easy-to-use, powerful integrated toolbox enabling real-time analysis of defects from 3D inspection data. Suggests "copy exact" for multiple production lines and even different sites. KSMART RMS software communicates inspection machine status, production line yield information, and real-time defect information from all Koh Young SPI and AOI machines in multiple production lines. Tracks root causes of defect issues and applies changes to inspection programs in real-time.

Precision Metering Pump for conformal coating applications controls liquid flow rate through piston in the pump cylinder, preventing flow rate drift due to viscosity changes. Novel software tracks the exact amount of coating used for each coating recipe and stores the data in a log file. Is said to overcome limitations of traditional pressurized liquid delivery systems associated with liquid viscosity changes due to changing ambient conditions.
