Taipei, Taiwan (November 30, 2009) – Test Research Inc. (TRI, TAIEX 3030) announced today that it will feature the new TR9000 PCB AOI test system and repair station at the 2009 HKPCA Show to be held in Shenzhen, China from Dec. 2-4 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center. TRI will be located in Hall 1, Booth F14. 

The TR9000 is an AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) system designed for high-volume manufacturers of mainstream PCBs. Developed entirely in-house, the TR9000 implements TRI’s existing AOI expertise to inspect PCBs down to 35 microns. Red and blue LEDs are used as a light source to ensure high defect detection rates with low false calls. Panels up to 675mm x 730mm (27in x 29in) can be accommodated by the system. 

“With this bare PCB AOI system, TRI now provides true end-to-end test solutions for anyone involved in electronics manufacturing,” said Paul Lin, TRI’s Vice President for Shenzhen. “This is the final piece in our strategy to be a complete one-stop shop for any EMS, OEM or ODM.”   

Jointly organized by the Hong Kong Printed Circuit Association (HKPCA), Association Connecting Electronics Industries (IPC) and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Guangzhou Sub-council (CCPIT-GZ), the 2009 HKPCA & IPC Show is based in Shenzhen, the epicenter of PCB and EA manufacturing in China.
