During final assembly, press-fit technology has many advantages. Some prefer this method to soldering due to its reliability, however, it does come with defect manufacturing challenges. Due to ever increasing board and component complexity, most traditional inspection techniques are not fit to ensure accurate inspection. Combining the KY-P3 pin inspection solution with Moiré technology and the KSMART software will accurately locate and measure the pin body, right from the start.
