The new phoenix x|aminer from GE’s Inspection Technologies business is a 5-axis, microfocus X-ray inspection system which has been developed for quality control applications in the manufacture of electronics sub-assemblies. It is particularly suitable for the reliable and accurate inspection of soldered joints.
The machine features two megapixel resolution and high magnification. Its powerful imaging software permits intuitive programming and component manipulation is precise and easy using a computer mouse or joystick.
An important design feature of the new system is its ovhm (oblique view high magnification) module, which allows an oblique angle view of up to 70° as well as total magnification in excess of 23 000x. This ensures quality of defect information in the vertical direction. Ease of maintenance is also permitted with the system’s open, 160 kV microfocus tube design whose easy cathode replacement ensures unlimited operating life, while its 20 W tube power at target can penetrate even the most radiation-absorbing components.
The new x|aminer is supplied with the recently launched phoenix x|act software, which is designed especially for electronics inspection. Its simple macro recording permits intuitive programming of inspection tasks in terms of position and image parameters, with all display settings saved with just one mouse click. Automatically created sample maps can be used for all PCBs of the same type anywhere in the system, even when rotated and flipped, and automatic image enhancement improves live images to ensure greater probability of defect detection.
