Visual Inspection and Depanelization

Exiting the oven the modules go thru a visual inspection, where the manufacturer looks for errors on the memory module manufacturing. At Kingston this step is totally automated, contrary to other factories we’ve been to.

Passing the visual inspection, the panel goes to a machine to be cut, i.e. to separate the memory modules that until now were stuck together.

The modules exit the depanelization machine and go to a labeler, where a robot also organizes the modules.
