systems these modules enable the automated X-ray inspection (AXI) of solder joints at minimum set-up time, due to teach-in
programming and auto-setup routines. An additional software package – quality|review – is the perfect connection to rework.
phoenix|x-ray's inspection modules can also easily be activated during manual inspection as a quick inspection aid.

As a solution for µAXI with high magnification and repeatability, GE provides calibrated high precision offline µAXI systems including the unique
phoenix x|act software package for fast and easy offline CAD programming. Small views with a resolution of up to a few micrometers, 360° rota-

Fully automated CAD based high-resolution X-ray inspection for extremely high defect coverage
Technology
Inline or oine inspection?
With common inline AXI, the inspection depth is normally determined by the
throughput of the SMT line. Principally, X-ray inspection takes much more time
than AOI. The higher the defect coverage, the more inspection time is required.
For zero defect production inspection with small fields of view with micrometer
resolution, 360° rotation and oblique viewing up to 70° is essential. To ensure
thesehigherdefectcoveragerequirements,μAXIhastobeperformedbeside
