In the soldering process using He-Ne laser, the automation of solder joint inspection is becoming more and more popular. There are many inspection methods using different inspection logic. In this paper, the MTS method was applied for the selection of useful logic (item). Also the possibility of using the raw data which indicate laser reflection change in conjunction with the use of Mahalanobis Distance was studied. It was confirmed from the study that useful inspection logic could be effectively identified. It was also concluded that the MTS method is extremely useful for such an identification process. Since it was found possible to use the raw data of laser reflection together with the MTS method without using inspection logic, further studies could help to speed up inspection and reduce inspection cost.
