FAULT COVERAGE AND REDUCE FALSE FAILURE CALLS E[acute accent]-- Patented Off-Center Tomosynthesis technique delivers the industry's highest image resolution for 3D Automated X-Ray Inspection Automated x-ray inspection (AXI) is a technology based on the same principles as automated optical inspection. It uses x-rays as its source, instead of visible light, to automatically inspect features, which are typically hidden from view. (AXI AXI Automated X-Ray Inspection (electronics) AXI Association Xpertise Inc (Calgary, AB, Canada) AXI Ada to X-Window System Interface ), produces best-in-class lead-free defect exposure and enables simplistic sim·plism n. The tendency to oversimplify an issue or a problem by ignoring complexities or complications. [French simplisme, from simple, simple, from Old French; see simple in-line automation. E[acute accent]Teradyne, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance board assembly test and inspection solutions, today announced an innovative breakthrough in 3D X-Ray imaging technology for detecting PCB (printed circuit board) solder solder (sŏd`ər), metal alloy used in the molten state as a metallic binder. The type of solder to be used is determined by the metals to be united. Soft solders are commonly composed of lead and tin and have low melting points. Hard solders (i. and production defects. Paul Groome, manager of Teradyne's AXI products group, said, "The beauty of our ClearVue(TM) X-Ray technology lies in the increased quality, efficiency and simplicity it brings to Automated X-Ray Inspection. Both quality managers and production line controllers will benefit from its unique ability to identify material issues more quickly and with absolute certainty." E[acute accent]Using a patented Off-Center Tomosynthesis imaging technique, the ClearVue X-Ray technology is ideally suited for densely packed single or double-sided boards that use BGA-style components and when loss of electrical or optical access is problematic. Compared to laminography and other 3D X-Ray techniques, ClearVue X-Ray technology's superior image clarity, diagnostic capabilities and full board coverage better exposes solder (including lead-free) flaws that are otherwise overlooked. More importantly, ClearVue X-Ray technology is expected to enable Teradyne to manufacture and sell the industry's highest fault coverage in-line X-Ray test and inspection solutions. E[acute accent]ClearVue operates using a stationary X-Ray source and detector and, unlike conventional 3D X-Ray Test systems, does not require complex or rotating mechanical parts. The result is significantly lower false call rates (promising up to 40 times improvement over existing 3D X-Ray solutions); improved reliability, better repeatability and improved cycle times.
