Long term reliability is key to the automotive world. Suppliers manufacture components with extra durability to handle the rugged engine compartment. Counterfeits have no such concern. Be sure you are using authentic components with a TruView™ X-ray inspection system.
Losing time due to insufficient parts can be incredibly costly. Rely on TruView™ X-ray systems to keep your inventory accurately counted.
The solder joints on bottom-terminated components such as BGAs and QFNs are largely hidden from even the best microscopes. TruView™ X-ray inspection can see through the component to see the solder pads and voiding hidden beneath it.
Through hole via, or barrel, fill is critical for electrical connection as well as mechanical strength. With TruView™ X-ray systems, you can see into the barrel or have them automatically measured for pass/fail analysis.
There isn’t much more reassuring on a high-reliability product than to have a final X-ray inspection of the product to verify that all the parts are where they should be. Confirming orientation of a needle, the right number of coils on a spring, or the proper amount of fill in a vial are all crucial.
LEDs are great, but voids can turn great, faithful products into unreliable components with a shorter lifespan than an incandescent bulb. Trust a TruView™ system to verify your voiding is within specifications.
Packaging of an integrated circuit is a very fine process. Once packaged, it is all invisible from an optical perspective. X-ray enables you to look through the resin at the die, lead frame, and wire bonds.
Making a strong and durable connection is critical for any system. Knowing that your pin connectors’ wells are full of solder gives you the confidence to deliver on the promises made to your customers. TruView™ X-ray inspection will help you truly come through.
There are many layers to battery inspection. Depending on the battery type, resolving the layers themselves can be critical. The anode and cathode connections presence and alignment not only show pass/fail but also are signs of counterfeits.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is still progressing strongly. Seeing the internal structure, porosity, and other defects is a huge advantage towards making strong designs.
Critical castings should be inspected for weak spots due to porosity as well as shrinkage and hot tears.
Computed Tomography, or CT, is valuable tool for inspecting products in full 3D. The product is spun a full 360 degrees while hundreds or thousands of X-ray images are acquired. Powerful software then reconstructs a model that can be spun, sliced, and even printed with additive manufacturing.
