In-Process X-Ray Inspection Improves Quality Control Of Circuit Boards
Dr Martin Muendlein, Engineering Manager at the ESCATEC plant, commented, “Modern electronic components are becoming smaller and smaller, increasing the need for sophisticated techniques to ensure that every solder joint is perfect. Visual inspection is increasingly difficult as more and more leads are hidden under the components, which means that the solder joints are only detectable by X-ray. “Our latest Nikon XT V 160 X-ray inspection sys
