What Can X-Ray Do in EMS?

We Are Excited to Share Insights into Our Company and Innovative Technologies!

To start, we introduce a key pillar of our quality control: X-ray inspection.

With our X-ray inspection system, we ensure the quality of electronic assemblies, PCBs, and components. This technology enables the inspection of hidden or hard-to-access components that are not visible using traditional inspection methods like Automated Optical Inspection (AOI).

What Can X-Ray Do in EMS?

1. Quality Control and Defect Detection

Solder joint inspection: Analysis of solder connections, especially for BGA and QFN components, which are hidden beneath the package.

Through-hole solder penetration: Verification of solder fill levels in THT component connections.

Voids in solder joints: Detection of air pockets, cavities, or irregularities in soldering.

Short circuits and interruptions in PCBs: Identification of shorts or breaks in inner PCB layers.

2. Process Optimization

Manufacturing process analysis: Fine-tuning soldering processes and stencil printing to improve quality and reduce defect rates.

Preventive measures: Early detection of potential weak points, such as problematic solder joints, before they cause larger failures.

3. Product Validation

Prototype inspection: Supporting customers during development to ensure that new designs and prototypes meet quality standards.

Mass production: First-article inspections and sample testing to maintain consistent product quality.

4. Failure Analysis

Defect investigation: Identifying production errors or material defects to determine root causes and corrective actions.

Detection of broken bond wires, structural damage, and counterfeit ICs, preventing issues caused by manipulated components.

5. Benefits of X-Ray Inspection

Non-destructive testing: Components remain undamaged during inspection.

High precision: Even the smallest defects are detectable.

Time and cost savings: Helps prevent future failures and costly recalls.

Conclusion

X-ray inspection is an indispensable tool in modern electronics manufacturing. It ensures quality, reliability, and longevity—especially for complex and densely packed PCB designs.
