  • Optional dual-lane & large-panel platforms for flexible production needs

 

The multi-frequency PSLM technology uses programmable structured light to replace traditional mechanical optical grating cycles, significantly improving measurement accuracy and expanding detection height up to ±1200 μm. By eliminating mechanical drives, the system achieves higher stability, faster response, and lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for high-precision 3D solder paste inspection.

3D Inline Inspection for Solder Paste Coverage

Phase Modulation Profilometry (PMP) enables ultra-high measurement resolution down to 0.37 μm through full-spectrum phase modulation and 4–8× sampling, ensuring exceptional repeatability. Combined with a high-precision ball screw and linear guide rail, it delivers highly accurate and stable 3D inspection results for advanced solder paste measurement.
