As components become obsolete and must be purchased on the gray market, verification of their authenticity is mission critical.
When our troops are involved, we want their equipment to work as it should every time. Every little piece is costly and knowing exactly how many you have of each component in a build is critical, from electronic components to springs.
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 look for cracks and voids that cause early failure in these assemblies.
Through hole via fill (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 TruView™ X-ray inspection of the product to verify that all the parts are there and where they should be. Confirming orientation of a trigger pin, the right number of coils on a spring, or the proper amount of fill in a canister are all crucial for mission success.
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.
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, microcracks, 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.
