True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions provider Koh Young Technology has opened its new production center in Yeoju, Korea. Accordingly, the expansion came a year after the company marked its 20^th year of establishment.

“During the past two decades, we have solidified our position as the manufacturing standard for SPI (solder paste inspection) and AOI (automated optical inspection) equipment across the electronics manufacturing industry,” said JD Shin, Chief Sales Officer at Koh Young.

In addition, Shin said the company needed to increase its production capacity to maintain customer satisfaction.

Boosts Production Capacity

Moving the production site has allowed for an expansive production space. Most importantly, this increases Koh Young’s production capacity by over 150 percent. In addition, the newly constructed facility almost doubled in size of the previous factory. Hence, allowing Koh Young to produce more than 6,000 machines per year before making any further process improvements.

With the growing customer demand for our products, this new capacity will ensure efficient manufacturing and faster order fulfillment. Aside from industrial inspection division, which delivers products for electronics assembly, the new facility has dedicated space for the company’s growing medical robotics division. Capable of producing over 260 medical systems annually, Koh Young can contribute to the revolution in medical technology for the benefit of mankind and society.

Commands Global Market

Established in 2002, Koh Young revolutionized the inspection market by launching the industry’s first 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) system using a patented dual-projection Moiré technology. Since then, it has become the global leader in 3D measurement-based SPI and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment for the electronics industry.

Based on its True3D™ measurement-based inspection technology, Koh Young has developed innovative inspection solutions for challenges with machined parts, press-fit and through-hole pins, conformal coatings, dispensed materials, and semiconductor packages.

Moreover, through its constant innovation, Koh Young has secured over 3,500 global customers. Most importantly, it commands the dominant global market share position in the SPI and AOI markets with well over 20,000 machine installations.

By adopting a user-centric R&D focus, it continues to use its core competencies to develop innovative solutions for new and existing markets.
