Inovar Adds Agilent 5DX Automated X-ray Inspection System

The 5DX Automated X-ray Inspection system provides 3D X-ray inspection for both in-line and off-line operations. Additionally, it is capable of inspecting both sides of a double-sided panel in one pass, and is designed for in-line or off-line automated process testing of solder connections on PCB assemblies, with pass-through or pass-back loading.

“Inovar continues to make investments in technology that expand our capabilities so that we can provide solutions that meet the demands of the market,” said Inovar CEO Blake Kirby.

The system is designed to meet the high-speed manufacturing rates required for high-volume, high-technology consumer products such as cellular phones and notebook computers. Throughput improvements are due to a combination of technology enhancements that include improved image acquisition and analysis, improved board handling, dynamic motion-damping software, and faster stage speeds. Additionally, for smaller boards, a dual-panel loading capability has been added to maximize throughput.
