FEINFOCUS Introduces New Versatile X-Ray Platform for Maximum Flexibility



STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - FEINFOCUS announces the COUGAR-VXP (Versatile X-ray Platform), a new and extremely modular X-ray inspection platform for maximum operator flexibility. The new platform addresses a broad range of inspection requirements throughout the industry, from basic failure analysis to high-end inspection for SMT production. The COUGAR-VXP was developed as a versatile X-ray inspection solution to constantly changing market and application requirements in the worldwide electronics industries.

The COUGAR-VXP provides a basic platform for further equipment and accessory implementation, depending on the particular needs of the customer. The initial configuration includes a standard microfocus X-ray tube up to 160 kV, FEINFOCUS True X-ray Intensity (TXI) Control, standard 4-axes manipulator, FEINFOCUS advanced realtime image processing system, and a standard realtime image chain with high-resolution 4" image intensifier and flat-screen monitor.

Additionally, users have the option of adding features such as a more sophisticated manipulator system, CNC capability, higher-bit image chain, direct digital detector (DDD), and a Multifocus X-ray tube up to 160 kV.

The COUGAR-VXP is ideal for any failure analysis and assembly environment, as it features a small footprint (approximately 1 m x 1 m); low system weight (approximately 1,450kg); and convenient front and side door service access.

An advanced SMT configuration is also available, featuring a higher-bit image chain with 16-bit realtime image processing, CNC capability, digital detector, and oblique viewing capability with FEINFOCUS proprietary AIM Technology.

FEINFOCUS is an award-winning global leader in high-resolution X-ray inspection systems and tubes. As pioneers of microfocus and nanofocus X-ray inspection technology, the company developed the first patented "open" X-ray tube. FEINFOCUS offers both X-ray sources and radiation-shielded X-ray equipment, as well as full in-house services, such as failure analysis, component defect detection, technical support, and preventative maintenance for both FEINFOCUS and third-party systems. In 2000, the company was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001.

FEINFOCUS was founded in 1982, and is headquartered in Garbsen, Germany. In the Americas, the company maintains headquarters in Stamford, CT and a Technical Resource Center in San Jose, CA.
