X-ray inspection is an irreplaceable and essential process in SMT production. As a non-destructive testing method, it plays a vital role in quality control.
Jeenoce (际诺斯) has introduced this high-precision, high-speed, and strongly radiation-shielded inspection system into its complete SMT production line solution. Its precise inspection results help clients achieve exceptionally high PCB yield rates, which is why it's so popular among manufacturers.
Also known as X-ray inspection systems or industrial X-ray machines, this equipment in the Jeenoce SMT solution is specifically designed for inspecting PCB-related defects.
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.
The X-ray inspection machine comes from a UK-based company that has specialized in PCB, semiconductor, and other high-end inspection fields for decades. It's a leader in non-destructive testing with strong industry recognition.
PCB inspection equipment includes:
· AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) based on optical principles, including 3D AOI.
· X-ray inspection systems, both 2D and 3D.
· Other functional test equipment.
Optical and X-ray inspections often work in tandem, complementing each other.
