In SMT production, the precision and stability of the LCR measurement system have always been key determinants of inspection quality. Youngpool Technology adopts an independently driven X/Y/Z-axis measurement system in its automatic splicing machines—an innovative structural design that provides a more controllable foundation for high-precision testing. Compared with traditional integrated structures, the independent-axis design allows each motion direction to be individually controlled, reducing inter-axis coupling interference, enhancing motion stability and repeatability, and creating more reliable conditions for measuring ultra-small components such as 01005.

During the inspection of miniature components, even the slightest displacement or vibration can lead to measurement deviations. The independent X/Y/Z-axis structure separates the motion paths, enabling each axis to compensate for positioning errors independently. The X-axis manages horizontal positioning, the Y-axis ensures alignment accuracy, and the Z-axis precisely controls the probe’s vertical motion, maintaining consistent contact during each probing action and minimizing mechanical cumulative errors. By integrating visual references or calibration points, the system can perform automatic or semi-automatic calibration to maintain consistent probe contact positions across multiple batches, thereby improving measurement repeatability and stability.

Another advantage of this structure lies in its adaptability. Different package types and tape widths often require distinct inspection paths and force-control parameters. The independent-axis configuration can dynamically adjust motion parameters based on material characteristics, supporting multiple tape widths from 8mm to 24mm (based on manufacturer testing data). The separated-axis drive distributes mechanical loads more evenly, reducing internal interference, achieving smoother motion and quicker response, and helping extend the service life of critical components.

In terms of efficiency, the independent X/Y/Z-axis design also enables process optimization. By integrating path-planning algorithms, the system can automatically switch test point positions according to tape type, effectively shortening inspection cycles. Combined with the variable-pitch measurement mechanism, it can perform high-precision LCR testing of miniature components under controlled probe spacing and contact force. When appropriate force control and probe specifications are applied, the system minimizes mechanical stress on components while maintaining measurement accuracy, meeting the growing demand for high-density and miniaturized inspection in the electronics manufacturing industry.

Overall, the independent X/Y/Z-axis measurement system represents not only a mechanical enhancement but also an upgrade in inspection methodology. Through precise motion control and a flexible architecture, it provides higher reliability and scalability for LCR measurement within automatic splicing systems. This innovation lays a solid foundation for continuous SMT line operation and yield improvement, reflecting Youngpool Technology’s ongoing pursuit of high-performance inspection systems under its vision of “Making Electronics Manufacturing Simpler.”
