The MXI system X8011 PCB, constructed by Viscom in Germany and sold worldwide for many years, has undergone a thorough revision. The company premiered the result, the X8011-II PCB, alongside other systems at the SMT Hybrid Packaging 2016 exhibition in Nuremberg.
The upgrade provides customers with more options for configuring the system, with valuable experiences from many years of practical application having been devoted to the improvement and enhancement of diverse software and hardware features.
The X8011-II PCB can be distinguished from the outside by its new housing, emblazoned with a large melon-yellow V. The front window is motor-driven and its new design makes loading even more convenient. Ergonomics have been significantly improved thanks to the modernised design of the operating console.
Within the system, a faster manipulator ensures more precise positioning of the inspection object. Among other benefits, this results in higher throughput. Moreover, the detector axis swivel range has been optimised to a very practical 60°.
X-ray inspection in electronics manufacturing is indispensable when, for instance, the printed circuit boards are populated with ball grid arrays (BGAs) or quad flat no lead packages (QFNs). As was already the case with its predecessor, the new X8011-II PCB boasts outstanding image quality, a resolution down to the microfocus range, as well as other features.
With its integrated 3D functionality, the system can generate sharp, clear slice or layer images from any penetration angle. It is also very well suited for accurate random testing as well as semi-automatic handling of small to medium job lots (batch operation).
The Viscom SI software takes on fully automatic evaluations. To a great extent, its analysis functions are identical to those of the in-line AXI systems from Viscom. With the Viscom Quality Uplink, the MXI system can be coupled with the SPI, AOI or even AXI systems from Viscom.
Defect detection and prevention see significant improvement with such linkage. Suspect inspection results from the line can be taken to the MXI verification station for an extensive X-ray inspection, making a decisive contribution to process optimisation.
