A3Through-hole
DaoAI IRIS ANT A3 — AI inspection for through-hole assemblies before and after wave soldering. Alongside standard THT solder joint and bridge checks, dedicated AI algorithms detect missing, incorrect and reversed components.
The A3 through-hole inspection machine is the ACI model in DaoAI's (微链道爱) IRIS ANT series for THT components: before wave soldering it checks for missing, wrong and reversed parts and lead insertion; after wave soldering it checks every through-hole pad's joint and bridging. Its boundary with SMT models is the object — leaded parts are tall, long and irregular, so imaging and decisions are tuned for them. Same decision principle as ACI.
Built for the through-hole line.

WHAT IT INSPECTS
Explore DaoAI's inspection capabilities and plant integration features . Available checks depend on the machine and configuration.
The same core AI software across the range.
Auto-programming, feedback learning, model training and offline operation are standard on the DaoAI IRIS ANT A3, not options on a price list. The machines differ in optics and handling.
