Extended x-ray inspection range caters for larger assemblies

With this inspection system, Viscom has taken the increased demands on X-ray inspections in electronics manufacturing into consideration. The system offers high flexibility, especially for small and mid-sized companies, to react to the requirements of their customers. Whether for fast and powerful random sample analysis of non-standard components, or automated, hassle-free series inspection of larger PCB panels, the X8068 is superbly equipped.

With the X8068, the entire spectrum of inspection objects up to a diameter of 722mm can be reliably inspected. The open X-ray tube ensures the highest resolution and detail recognition in first-class image quality. Thus, even the smallest defective structures are reliably detected. A sealed direct beam tube also is available as a system option.

The system convinces with a mature technology that demonstrates its full strength in the interaction of all the hardware and software components. The user-friendly IPS monitor depicts the X-ray results in the best quality, independent of viewing angle. In order to cover the largest possible inspection area, the detector swivel range covers up to 60°.

With the simultaneous availability of two inspection concepts on one system, Viscom has achieved a unique competitive feature regarding inspection scope. Thus, the Viscom XMC software is available for specialised inspection or non-standard components. Thanks to intuitive operation and comprehensive automatic analysis functions, any inspection objects can be quickly and precisely checked. The system offers manual and partially automatic inspection for the widest range of objects.

The SI software of the Viscom X7056 family is employed on the X8068 for fully automatic X-ray analysis. With the X8068, more than 25 years’ experience in assembly inspection is specially oriented to SMD production. This means the unique Viscom Quality Uplink can also be used. Through the linking of inspection results from SPI, AOI, AXI and MXI, this function provides a simplified classification and effective process control. The X8068 is a top seller in the area of safety-relevant electronic assemblies, especially in the automotive electronics sector.
