Nordson DAGE Launches X-Plane at Productronica
Nordson DAGE are proud to announce the launch of X-Plane at the Productronica show in Munich – 15th to 18th November 2011. This revolutionary option for their range of industry-leading X-ray inspection systems uses a proprietary, patent applied for, tomosynthesis, or CT technique to create 2D X-ray slices in any plane of a printed circuit board assembly without the need to cut or destroy the board.
In tDr. David Bernard, Nordson DAGE Product Manager - X-ray Systems said “Standard 2D X-ray views of today’s double-sided PCBs can be difficult to interpret and analyze, as the joints from both sides of the board, and within multi-layer devices, such as the package on package, can overlap in the image. To combat these limitations, the X-Plane option uses the standard Nordson DAGE X-ray systems to simply and easily separate all these different layers, as well as producing slices in any other planar view. But most importantly, X-Plane can do all this over an 18” x 16” inspection area and without needing to cut the board.”
