Feinfocus Tiger X-Ray inspection system with Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) features a faster, more precise sample manipulator with x-y speeds of 100 mm/s and accuracy to 200 μm, plus greater magnification capability. ADR greatly reduces analysis time on the production floor with fast, accurate recognition of solder voids and other abnormalities.
 
The 2-D x-ray inspection system offers a view into the third dimension via oblique viewing at virtually any desired angle using Auto Isocentric Motion (AIM) technology. The high-precision detector manipulator rotates 360° and tilts up to 70° to view complex assemblies at oblique angles. Offers an additional two-axis (x and y) manipulation of the sample and a third axis (z) manipulation of the x-ray tube, with normal positional accuracy down to 100 μm. Open tube x-ray technology allows for feature recognition below 1 μm.
 
Designed to meet the needs of computer, automotive, telecom, military/aerospace, medical device and information storage markets, it offers a geometric magnification of up to 727X (total magnification up to 2800X), True X-Ray Intensity (TXI) control for consistent image quality and a sample tray area of up to 24 x 24” (610 x 610 mm) to accommodate larger boards and multi-up flip chip assemblies.

Kyzen Corp. will display Aquanox A4520T Aqueous Chemistry for Flush-Mounted and Fine-Pitch Components at the SMT/Hybrid/Packaging exhibition and conference in Nürnberg, Germany.

Designed to clean under low standoffs and in the tight spaces caused by smaller and more heavily populated devices, the eighth-generation chemistry has reportedly proven effective on Pb-free, no-clean and eutectic materials, while providing low cost of ownership.
 
Works at low temperatures and low concentrations while exceeding industry standards for people and environmental safety. Easy to use, effective without the use of sump side additives and provides brilliant joints. Features a long bath life and is RoHS compliant.
 
Can clean numerous soils including Pb-free flux, tacky flux, reflowed paste, no-clean flux, RMA flux, OA paste, oils, fingerprints, light oxides and polymerized soils. Is multi-metal safe for use on yellow metals, aluminum, ferrous and composites in addition to precious metals. Is biodegradable and contains no CFCs or HAPs. Is non-flammable and non-corrosive.
 
Available commercially in one-, five- and 55-gallon containers.

Quick Image QI-2017RL and QI-3017RL Series 2-D vision measuring systems employ a bilateral telecentric lens train capable of focusing on multiple surface levels at the same time.  The result is reduced focusing effort, translating into error suppression and increased speed for higher measuring throughput.
 
With its wide field of view (32 x 24 mm) and great depth of field, the systems can, in one view, completely capture images of workpieces with varying thickness and levels. Can simultaneously image features found on items such as tool edges, connectors, PCBs, cylinder forms and other solids with difficult level transitions.  Continual refocusing is unnecessary.
 
High-precision, mega-pixel CCD color camera captures elevations and contours with accuracy and clarity for viewing, inspection or analysis on a PC or laptop.
 
XY travel ranges of 200 x 170 mm (QI-2017) and 300 x 170 mm (QI-3017), high maximum workpiece load and high-efficiency optics enable productivity across a range of low- to high-volume inspection applications.
 
Comes with QIPAK software enabling pattern matching inspection via a CAD user template. With the optional MeasurLink module, measurements can be subjected to multiple statistical analyses.
