It supports 2D inspection and optional 3D CT scanning to ensure the quality of finished automotive electronics and power electronics products.
High-quality X-Ray Inspection Ensures Product Reliability
The reliability of electronic assembly mainly depends on solder joint quality. All features and dimensions of solder joints are displayed in images: diameter, thickness (grayscale value), pads and contact areas (dark and bright rings), and voids (bright spots). All defects affecting solder joint shape can be detected. Beyond visible surfaces, X-Ray images reveal hidden characteristics of internal connection areas, which are critical to solder joint reliability.
Detectable defects are listed below:
Bridging (especially solder joints beneath electronic components), open circuits, solder paste printing defects, poor coplanarity, insufficient solder filling, poor wetting, insufficient reflow, alignment deviation, cracks, missing solder joints, warpage, component cracking, tilted components, voids, diameter deviation, roundness, shape deviation, blurred edges (insufficient reflow), misalignment.
