Um eine einwandfreie Beschichtung zu garantieren, sind innovative Testsysteme zur Qualitätssicherung notwendig. Résumé Un revêtement protège l'électronique de l'humidité, de la saleté ainsi que de la corrosion et assure de cette façon un fonctionnement fiable des modules, même dans des environnements difficiles. Afin de garantir un revêtement parfait, des systèmes de test innovants sont nécessaires pour assurer la qualité. Резюме Покрытие защищает электронику от влаги, грязи и коррозии и тем самым обеспечивает надежную работу узлов даже в тяжелых условиях окружающей среды. Для обеспечения безупречного покрытия необходимо использовать инновационные испытательные системы для гарантии качества. Drawing the ROI is also very simple using a rectangle, circle, polygon, and so on. After selecting a type of inspection, the user need only to draw an ROI, and the inspection process is ready to go. Most importantly, Koh Young’s systems provide the most accurate and reliable 3D inspection regardless of the surface condition of transparent materials. Unlike other CCIs, the Neptune can inspect within 3 minutes without any damage to the board. Existing CCI systems normally measure the height by adjusting the position of this reference mirror, but our technology does this by adjusting the frequency. Also, instead of inspecting only one point, our CCI systems deliver tomographic information by area inspection. As such, the image shown above is acquired, and as you can see, multiple layers of fluid structure can be clearly seen. DPI beyond CCI Our Neptune C+ can perform 2D and 3D inspection of conformal coatings, as well as 3D inspection of underfills and overcoatings. Currently, it offers a measurement range of 10 microns to 3.5 mm for these transparent materials, in the absence of refraction. Moreover, just to briefly explain the hardware, it has a 12M pixel camera and 15um. There is not much difference in size from the existing SPI and AOI systems, but in the case of the Neptune C+ we also have a flipper-type ready system so there may be some differences in PCB thickness and machine weight. www.kohyoung.com 20 EPP Europe » 11 | 2022
