Page 25 Saki Intros Inline 3D CT X-Ray System


Fremont, CA — Saki Corporation has introduced a compact, lightweight, inline 3D-CT automated X- ray inspection machine, the 3Xi-M110, for the in- spection of PCBs. The new system is designed to reduce the dose and exposure to X-rays during in- spection and includes new soldering quality in- spection functions. The system ensures the quality of hidden sol-


der joints for bottom-electrode packages, such as BGAs, LGAs and WFNs, which are found in ad- vanced embedded devices, telecommunications and automotive products. Saki’s planar computed tomography (PCT) provides precise volumetric measurements and shape reconstruction to find voids, head-in-pillow defects and other defects that are difficult to identify. The platform is 54 in. (1,380 mm) wide and


weighs 6,834 lb (3,100 kg), making it 40 percent lighter and reducing its footprint by 25 percent over its predecessor. Man- ufacturing floorspace is conserved, it is easy to install and production line operation is significantly improved. The imaging range has been opti- mized to handle board sizes up to 14.2 x 13 in. (360 x 330 mm).


Metcal Offers Robotic Soldering and IoT Gateway


Cypress, CA —Metcal is now offering a robotic soldering system, along with its Connection Validation (CV) soldering system with new hand- pieces and an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway with Solder Agent soft- ware.


The company’s robotic soldering


system with CV technology and a touchscreen GUI is designed to drasti- cally mitigate the risk of solder joint defects and add productivity to the manufacturer’s soldering process. Metcal is also offering its new


CV handpieces and assorted car- tridges that transform the CV-5200 and CV-500 soldering systems into a solution for even the most challeng- ing soldering applications. All of the handpieces are now available with a number of unique tip cartridge geometries. The tip cartridges are available in a variety of temperature series.


Metcal has introduced its


patented “chip-in-cartridge” technol- ogy with the release of its latest benchtop soldering system. The in- formation stored within the cartridge and the additional data collection in real time provide users the ability to monitor and manage their soldering process. Through remote and real-time


data collection and analytics, system failures can be detected. The need to order more solder cartridges can also be predicted and production time and operators’ soldering performance


evaluated. Contact: Metcal, 10800 Valley

For larger boards, two-step image capture is


available. The system delivers exceptional speed and accuracy by utilizing a double motor-driven system equipped with a high-precision linear scale manufactured by Magnescale Co., Ltd., optimizing power and precision. One of the most significant features is Saki’s


X-ray tube, which can reduce X-ray exposure up to 70 percent by powering on the X-rays only at the moment of image capture. An exposure dose simula- tor allows the user to monitor the radiation dose. The new X-ray tube does not require periodic main- tenance or spare parts and a built-in monitoring


3Xi-M110 automated 3D CT X-ray system.
