The X-ray process works by accelerating electrons with high voltage and directing them to hit a metal target. This generates powerful, penetrating X-rays.
When these rays interact with the atoms in a circuit board, some are absorbed, and others pass through.
The transmitted rays are captured by a detector, and then analyzed by computer software to identify internal structures or defects.

X-ray for PCB inspection plays a vital role in modern SMT and electronics manufacturing. It excels in BGA and fine-pitch inspection, where traditional optical methods often fall short. The ability to see beneath the surface helps detect hidden solder joint issues like voids and bridges, ensuring reliable solder connections in complex assemblies.
For multilayer PCB analysis, microfocus X-ray technology reveals internal layers and buried defects without damaging the board. This non-destructive method is essential for verifying layer alignment, detecting delamination, and identifying internal cracks — critical for high-density and multilayer boards.
In component verification, the system inspects small and densely packed parts like ball grid arrays, chips, and connectors to confirm placement accuracy and solder quality. It supports real-time quality control on assembly lines, minimizing rework and production delays.
Inspection Targets & Typical Defects
Component / Application | Key Detectable Defects |
SMD, BGA | Missing balls, cold joints, short circuits, ball misalignment, excessive voiding (esp. multilayer joints) |
CSP / Flip Chip | Poor ball wetting, alignment errors at micron scale |
QFP / LGA | Lifted pins, insufficient solder, bridging (especially in dense packages) |
SMT solder joints | Inconsistencies between pads and leads/balls: poor wetting, cold joints, solder splash |
Multilayer board vias | Integrity of plated through, blind, or buried vias (cracks, voids) |
FPC / Rigid-Flex PCBs | Fatigue cracks in bend areas, delamination |
PCBA Modules | Solder defects under components like shields or heatsinks |
Modular Devices | Internal weld quality of power, RF, MEMS sensor modules |
Semiconductor Substrates | Solder joints between chips and substrates |
Automotive Electronics | ECU internal joints, wire harness connections, component stability |
Precision Castings | Porosity, fatigue cracks in aluminum die-casting, internal gear defects |
New Energy/Batteries | Battery cell alignment, tab welds, foreign object detection |
Solar Components | Cracked welds on wafers, solder uniformity, connector corrosion |
