Solder paste inspection (SPI) identifies critical defects in PCB assembly, including insufficient solder (low volume), excessive paste (bridging), misalignment, and uneven deposition. Common issues also involve solder slumping, solder balling, and paste contamination. These defects can lead to poor electrical connections, shorts, or open circuits. SPI systems use 3D imaging and laser scanning to detect deviations in height, area, and volume. Early detection helps optimize stencil printing and prevent downstream reflow defects, improving manufacturing yield and reliability in surface-mount technology (SMT) processes.
