Improved FEINFOCUS TIGER X-Ray Inspection System from COMET
GARBSEN, GERMANY- COMET announces an improved FEINFOCUS TIGER X-Ray inspection system with Automated Defect Recognition (ADR). The TIGER with ADR features a faster, more precise sample manipulator with x-y speeds of 100 mm/s and accuracy to 200 µm, plus greater magnification capability. The addition of ADR to the TIGER greatly reduces analysis time on the production floor with fast and accurate recognition of solder voids and other abnormalities.The TIGER system is a unique 2D X-Ray inspection system that offers a view into the 3rd dimension via oblique viewing at virtually any desired angle utilizing the company's proprietary Auto Isocentric Motion (AIM) technology. The new high-precision detector manipulator rotates a full 360°, and tilts up to 70° to view complex assemblies at oblique angles. The system also offers an additional two-axis (x and y) manipulation of the sample and a third axis (z) manipulation of the X-Ray tube, with normal positional accuracy down to 100 micrometer (µm). FEINFOCUS proprietary open tube X-Ray technology allows for feature recognition below 1µm.
Designed to meet the rigorous needs of computer, automotive, telecom, military/aerospace, medical device, and information storage markets, the TIGER offers a geometric magnification of up to 727x (total magnification up to 2800x), proprietary True X-Ray Intensity (TXI) control for consistent image quality, and an extra-large sample tray area of up to 24" x 24" (610mm x 610mm) to accommodate larger boards and multi-up flip chip assemblies.
