Concept FX
Multi-Axis X-Ray Inspection System
The Concept FX II features outstanding configuration flexibility, six
(6) axes of motion control, unparalleled ergonomic design and a unique
no-clamp sample tray for fast load and unload. The x-ray source and
detector tilt off-axis in relation to the sample providing oblique object
viewing of PCBs up to 20-inches by 24-inches. The high-resolution
high-magnification imaging train provides crystal clear images for
inspection and failure analysis of assemblies, solder joints and near
microscopic component interlayer electrical connections. |
The Concept FX is an affordable, ultra small-footprint multi-axes x-ray inspection system
with outstanding configuration flexibility, unparalleled operator-friendly ergonomic design and unique no-clamp sample tray for fast load and unload.

60% larger board handling than similar sized systems! Applications include: failure analysis of bare boards, assemblies and parts, component interlayer prototyping, manufacturing process validation and rework verification. |
|
 |
The system is capable of handling large bare or populated PCB assemblies up to 20-inches by 24-inches or individual component packages. Off-axis inspection is accomplished by rotating the x-ray source and detector around the sample tray, hence no need for clamping of the samples.
|
|
The high-resolution high-magnification imaging train provides crystal clear images for the analysis of virtually any board, assembly or part, including near microscopic interlayer electrical interconnection inspection of wirebond and die-attachments.

| (1) | High-resolution 75, 90 or 130kV no-maintenance x-ray source options provide outstanding configuration flexibility.

| (2) | The "no clamp" sample tray provides quick loading and unloading of samples. While the 6-Axes sample manipulation provides off-axis sample manipulation to reveal shape, size faults, etc. of electrical solder connections. This is especially important with double-sided boards, where top and bottom side components may obscure clear viewing of object details.
|
||
| (3) | High-resolution 2/4 Image Intensifier with zoom lens (Magnification: >650x) provides superb imaging for viewing internal semiconductor connections such as wire-bonds, die-attach, delamination, voiding and solder joint opens. |
||
| (4) | The Image Processor (Computer, Frame Grabber and VIP software); captures and displays x-ray images in real-time while providing an operator with tools to enhance, identify, analyze, measure and report — sample quality and defect characteristics.
