X-Line 3D inline AXI now comes “X40 Plus” for 3D inspection speed increase of up to 18%. Optimized imaging chain in combination with an improved axle system and faster execution of test algorithms results in cycle time savings, depending on maximum resolution and board dimensions. A 216 x 164mm assembly with more than 8,000 solder joints requires about 40 sec. for complete 3D X-ray inspection. For double-sided boards; captures top and bottom sides within a single pass. Based on a real time multi-angle image, recording a complete 3D inspection of the assembly is possible. Integrated reconstruction methods based on digital thomosynthesis enables the defined evaluation of individual layers of the circuit board under test.

NexJet NJ-8 dispenser features ReadiSet two-piece jet cartridge which is quickly and easily removed, cleaned, inspected, and reinstalled without tools. Is said to be long-lasting, durable and has been tested on many fluids, from high-viscosity silicones to low-viscosity reagents, in board-level underfill, chip-scale packaging, ball grid array, package-on-package underfill, precise coating, silicone jetting, and adhesive dispensing applications. Only parts that come in contact with fluid have to be removed from system for cleaning and maintenance. Reportedly saves fluid, resources, time, and cost of cleaning; produces clean dispensing environment. Patented software manages dispensing process, controlling fluid velocity, adjusting dot sizes, regulating amount of fluid dispensed, and compensating for fluid viscosity changes to center the process window.

IC-M12S-CXP monochrome 12Mp MCMOS camera has a CoaXPress CXP6, DIN-4 interface delivering 181fps. Is based on the CMOSIS CMV12000 v2 high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and replaces the discontinued IC-X12CXP. Size and weight reduced to a 80 x 80 x 36.55mm and 400g without lens mount. All-new housing design uses newly developed sensor positioning design for precise alignment. Addition of LM-Mount to already large lens mount allows use of Leica-M and Zeiss ZM lenses. DSNU/PRNU correction algorithms completely redesigned for improved image quality while still allowing custom calibration. User definable ROI (H&V), exposure delay and strobe output delay.
