Using complementary technologies to improve counterfeit component detection


report by the Senate Armed Services Committee uncovered 1,800 cases of counterfeit parts involving over one million units. And OEMs remain at risk, mostly due to pressures of supply and demand.

Ideally, OEMs would simply buy directly from the component manufacturers or their authorised distributors, where the supply chain is clearly visible and trustworthy. However, component shortages, whether due to product discontinuation or other reasons, can drive them to use other, unauthorised, channels, where lack of traceability can give counterfeits an opportunity to enter the supply chain.


Counterfeits can take many forms. Some, although correctly functional, are standard components sold as higher specification types. Others are relabelled, so their visible legend bears no relation to their internal functionality – if any functionality at all exists. Yet more may be the right parts, but with manufacturing faults. The correctly functional types represent the biggest threat to OEMs, because they could well pass factory tests, only to fail in service, with possibly catastrophic consequences for both user and supplier.


As an independent inspection and test solution provider, Cupio offers two industry leading counterfeit detection technology solutions. Both are effective defence tools, but, together, they provide a comprehensive ability to detect counterfeits, whether their functionality is right but inadequate, wrong, failed, or non-existent. The first involves X- ray inspection while the other uses electrical testing.


X-ray inspection


Cupio supplies Nordson DAGE’s Explorer™ one system for component X-ray inspection solutions. It allows users to quickly and easily see inside incoming components, and compare the results with known good images.
