The Most Impactful Quality Checkpoint in SMT Assembly

Industry research consistently shows that 60 to 70 per cent of all SMT assembly defects originate at the solder paste printing stage. Insufficient paste volume causes cold joints and opens, while excess paste leads to bridging and shorts. The MEK ISO-Spector S3 eliminates these risks by catching printing errors at the source — before boards enter the reflow oven, where defects become costly to rework.

Closed-Loop Feedback for Continuous Improvement

The ISO-Spector S3 integrates with your screen printer via closed-loop feedback, automatically detecting drift in print quality and triggering corrective adjustments in real time. Paired with the MEK Catch traceability platform, every SPI result is stored against the board serial number, providing a complete print quality history for process optimisation and compliance reporting.
