Viscom has introduced two further members of its family X8000 of X-ray inspection systems. The X8050 allows testing of boards between a length of 22 to 28-in and a weight of up to 15kg. The basic versions with three or five axes may be optionally extended to seven of them. The axes manipulation system can either be operated manually or via the test program. Additionally, the X8050 can be used as an automated in-line system, thanks to the possibility of feeding and removing the boards without human intervention. The compact series X8008 reportedly provides an inexpensive solution. It is equipped with an optional 4-axes-manipulator and picture chain.
High-res X-ray check of oversized PCBs
Phoenix has introduced the X-ray inspection system analyzer xl with a detail detectabilty of down to less 1 micron. The outstanding feature is the large scanning area which allows the inspection of even oversized boards with a dimension of up to 24 x 36-in. In combination with the multilayer test-software ml-module and the auto positioning system, it is possible to determine the annular ring width according to a free programmable inspection scheme. Fur-thermore, in the oblique view at highest magnification (OVHM) a detailed in-spection of through-hole plating and microvia metallization can be conveyed. In addition, the rotation table allows a view from 0 to 360-degree.
