Saki 3D Solder Paste Inspection Machine

The machine supports PCBs from 50 × 60 mm in single-lane mode, up to 686 × 870 mm in dual-lane mode with the 7 Nm camera head. With larger camera heads (12/18 Nm), it supports boards up to 500 × 510 mm in single-lane.

It provides a top clearance of 40 mm and a bottom clearance of 60 mm in most modes. With dual-lane or other configurations, bottom clearance may be ~50 mm depending on setup.

It uses single-phase power, 200-240 V ±10 %, 50/60 Hz, and requires air supply at about 0.5 MPa with ~5 L/min (ANR) flow.

Features include proprietary measurement hardware, side cameras, true height (3D) measurement, self-diagnostic system, plus advanced software that provides feedback to printers (print alignment and misalignment data) and controls cleaning cycles.

The machine feeds print position measurement data back to the printer (feedback) and also informs pick-and-place machines whether a board is “bad” (bad board skip). These functions help reduce component waste and misplacement.

For the Single-Lane model (3Si-LS2), dimensions are about 1040 × 1440 × 1500 mm (W × D × H) and weight around 900 kg. Dual-Lane models are wider (~1340 mm) but same depth and height.

While exact components-per-hour aren’t given on the page, speed is boosted by features such as side cameras, self-diagnostics, and true height measurement, which reduce inspection delays and minimize re-inspection. The hardware is optimised for very small, shadow-free measurements.

It’s ideal for applications involving fine-pitch components, designing for small micro-parts (smartphones, industrial devices with tight specs), where solder paste printing accuracy and repeatability are critical. Also useful in high-mix lines where consistent SPI feedback is needed to maintain print quality.

As an authorised Saki partner, Hawker Richardson supplies the Saki 3D SPI, a precision solder paste inspection machine, across Australia and New Zealand. We provide on-site installation, training, servicing and technical support, with coverage spanning Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch, and stock commonly used spare parts for fast servicing and minimal downtime.
