Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI)


With a variety of test techniques available to detect a range of defects, how do you make sure your process is protected against every possible threat? Simple, you run an automated X-ray Inspection application such as our in-house Agilent 5DX system.


With the highest defect capture rate in the industry, these systems detect 95% of all manufacturing defects. Not only does this reduce your repair costs by catching defects early, it also reduces field returns by identifying issues often missed by conventional systems.



How it works…


Our AXI systems utilize cross-sectional X-rays to isolate the board top side from the bottom side. Eliminating the need for board contact, the technology measures the amount of solder on each joint, even identifying hidden solder joints. AXI pinpoints the defect to the component and pin, highlighting its location to the operator for rapid repair.
