The KY8030 series is a line of True 3D solder paste inspection (SPI) systems from Koh Young. The KY8030 series is Koh Young’s most widely deployed 3D solder paste inspection platform, available in three configurations: the KY8030-2, KY8030-3, and USX. The platform uses Koh Young's patented 3D dual-inspection moiré projection technology.[1]
How it works
A solder paste inspection system measures deposited solder paste on a printed circuit board before component placement. The KY8030 platform measures paste volume, area, height, offset, bridging, shape deformity, and coplanarity rather than judging a two-dimensional image.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
Solder paste inspection sits after solder paste printing and before component placement and reflow. The inspection step is used to catch deposit defects while the board is still early in the assembly flow.[1]

| Designation | Generation | Vintage | Changes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KY8030-2 | — | — | The most widely installed configuration; inspects from 11.1 to 59.5 cm²/sec to a paste height of 450 microns, with resolutions of 10, 15, 20 or 25 microns. | kohyoungamerica.com[1] |
| KY8030-3 | — | — | Roughly twice the throughput of the KY8030-2, reaching 81.85 cm²/sec at 8 megapixel and 20 microns, to a 400 micron inspection height; also inspects conductive glue and sinter paste. | kohyoungamerica.com[1] |
| KY8030 USX | — | — | Extended-length configuration of the KY8030-3, for assemblies up to 1,300 millimetres in a single pass. | kohyoungamerica.com[1] |
