May/June, 2012 ElEctronic Mfg SErvicES Javad EMS Raises Efficiency with ViTrox AXI By the Staff of Javad Electronic Manufacturing Services, San Jose, CA A
utomatic x-ray inspection (AXI) represents the ultimate inspec- tion system for the high-quality
production line, and often, one ma - chine alone is not enough. Javad Electronic Manufacturing Services (San Jose, California) re cently com- pleted the successful implementation of the ViTrox V810 3-D In-line Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI) System at its state-of-the-art facility in San Jose, California. Javad EMS prides itself on its quality, from equip- ment to processes, employees and fin- ished products. According to Gary Walker,
Javad Vice President, the new system cuts program development times in half and provides inspection speeds up to four times faster than the EMS provider’s previous AXI system. “The V810 has not compromised on per- formance,” he said. In fact, it has proven to yield better call rates com- pared to the other vendors. ViTrox has delivered an efficient, production proven solution with the V810.” JEMS has more than 40,000 sq.
ft. of manufacturing space in the heart of Silicon Valley, and has updated it to the highest standards of electronic manufacturing services, communication, client support, em -
ployee comfort and training. Four SMT Lines The company runs four continu-
ous flow SMT lines complete with inline 3-D solder paste inspection and AOI. These lines are highly flex-
high-mix, low- to medium-volume production. Before evaluating the ViTrox
V810 AXI system, Javad was well aware of the strong structural defect coverage benefits of 3-D X-ray from its experience with other AXI equipment.

From this past experience, Javad also was quite familiar with the common struggles faced when trying to imple- ment this equipment in production. The company has high expectations
focused on evaluating the ease in which programs could be created while still concentrating on the sys- tem’s coverage capabilities on lead- ing-edge devices such as Stacked BGAs (Package-on -Package), con- nectors and heavily shaded compo- nents. The system has proven to be a top performer in 3-D AXI solutions. In addition, the V810 was recognized not only for providing the fastest speeds without compromising test coverage, but also for its image clari- ty, focus accuracy and repeatability as well as its special algorithms. All of these features have allowed the machine to stand out among its com- petitors, in addition to being chosen as the preferred solution by Javad. Walker continued, “We assemble
high-reliability products that have applications ranging from use 12,000 ft. below the surface of the ocean, to space-launched vehicles, and every-
