At Incap Slovakia, quality and efficiency are at the core of our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production. To further strengthen process control and minimise defects, we have implemented Automated Paste Inspection (API)—a high-precision system that ensures the accuracy and consistency of solder paste printing.

Solder paste printing is one of the most critical steps in SMT assembly, directly influencing component placement and solder joint integrity. Even slight deviations—such as misalignment, insufficient paste volume, or improper deposition—can compromise product quality and lead to costly rework.

We have integrated a dual inspection system, where post-reflow inspection data provides real-time feedback to the paste printing stage. This closed-loop approach enables immediate process adjustments, reducing errors at the source and maintaining the highest quality standards.

Key advantages for our customers:

Superior product quality – precision-controlled solder paste application results in fewer defects.

Reduced scrap and rework – advanced process control minimises material waste.

Reliable and consistent production – real-time monitoring keeps SMT processes within strict tolerances.

Increased competitiveness in EMS – lower defect rates and optimised efficiency contribute to cost-effective manufacturing.

By investing in advanced inspection technology, Incap Slovakia continues to drive excellence in electronics manufacturing, delivering high-quality, reliable solutions to our customers.

Rancate, Switzerland – Delvitech is happy to announce that it will showcase its groundbreaking Horus system, the industry’s first all-in-one AI native platform for both Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI), at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2025. The event is scheduled from March 18 to 20, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Horus represents a revolutionary hybrid 3D inspection solution driven by Artificial Intelligence, capable of conducting both Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI). Built on proprietary neural networks, it overcomes the limitations of traditional systems, adapting to the diverse variations that arise during production. This advanced technology enables Delvitech to offer an unparalleled inspection solution that integrates effortlessly into every aspect of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production, redefining inspection processes with unmatched precision and efficiency.

Key Features of the Horus System:

· Unified Recipe Import: The system imports a comprehensive inspection recipe encompassing all production processes.

· User-Friendly Interface: Features dedicated tabs for PASTE, PLACEMENT, and REFLOW, each displaying relevant data for streamlined inspections.

· Advanced Inspection Capabilities: Offers specialized inspection steps within each process.

· Defect Visualization: Detected paste defects are displayed in the Verification Station interface together with components defects, for thorough analysis.

Delvitech’s proprietary neural network technology minimizes manual configuration by independently identifying and defining PCB components with exceptional accuracy. This approach reduces false positives and ensures unmatched precision across various PCB types and production stages.
