Computed tomography for electronics manufacture quality control
A
computed tomography (CT) option, allowing 3D inspection of components, is now available
with the phoenix x|aminer 2D microfocus X-ray inspection system from the Inspection Technologies business of GE Measurement & Control.
The recently introduced five-axis phoenix
x|aminer is particularly suitable for the rapid and accurate 2D inspection of soldered joints on a production line. The new option will now allow quality
control departments a simple and cost- effective method of carrying out 3D failure analysis for more complex geometry electronic assemblies, while retaining all the benefits of 2D inspection. As such, it will find a wide
application in companies engaged in electronics assembly, semiconductor manufacture and security-relevant segments such as the automotive industry. The high tube power of up to 20
Watt on the target, of the phoenix x|aminer allows a very good sample penetration which is especially needed for high quality CT scans. Equipped with cost-effective image-intensifier-based CT and
GE’s easy to use phoenix 3d|arv software for acquisition, reconstruction and visualization of the CT results, the phoenix x|aminer offers both technological and economical benefit The new phoenix|x-ray inspection
system will be of particular interest to the Asian market as it is the first system to be manufactured in China at the company’s ISO- certified, Changzhou manufacturing facility near Shanghai, using core German-made hard- and software components like tubes and generators. ●
