FocalSpot Announces the Addition of Optilia Flexia BGA/SMT Video Inspection Microscope to Their Affordable Line of Inspection Solutions



San Diego, CA - April 26, 2006 - FocalSpot, Inc. (www.focalspot.com), announced today a new addition to their affordable line of inspection solutions, the Optilia Flexia BGA/SMT Video Inspection Microscope. The Flexia is a versatile ESD protected Video Microscope for look-down or look-under visual inspection of solder joints on assembled PCB's components, solder/flux mixtures, bare circuit cards/pads, cables/connectors, wire bonds and stencils.

Flexia is easy-to-use and can be set up in seconds with either a "look-down" macro zoom lens (1-60X) or "look-under" (4X zoom) side viewing BGA lens. It can be connected directly to a hand held monitor, PC or Laptop via high speed USB 2.0 frame grabber (included). Imaging applications include digital image capture, video recording and optical measurements. The system is optimized for lead-free inspection and provides robust data management and documentation tools.

The side viewing lens of the Flexia offers the capability to look-under and inspect BGA's, µBGA's, CSP and flip chip packages with minimal package stand-off. The Flexia BGA lens captures sharp images of the soldered balls under the BGA package up to 12mm deep (~15-20 rows) and down to a mere ~0.05mm stand off. The Flexia BGA lens allows users to perform failure analysis (opens, bridging, micro-cracking, surface defects, etc.) and confirm solder ball shape, reflow compression, wetting and flux conditions, and other visual characteristics of SMT/BGA components.

Optional Picasara software provides facilities to measure bump height, radius, wetting angles, etc.; while Picasara's powerful database and reporting environment make possible the development of "Case Examples" for inspection verification reference, training materials and other documentation requirements.

"The Flexia is a standalone inspection tool that is also complementary to x-ray quality assurance inspection and rework verification. The combination of both x-ray and optical Inspection provides maximum fault coverage and great performance for an extremely attractive price," said Frank Silva, FocalSpot's Vice President of Sales.

Price and Availability
The Optilia Flexia BGA/SMT Video Inspection Microscope starts at $3,585 with deliveries from 3 to 6 weeks ARO. Detailed specifications and a data sheet can be found by visiting: www.focalspot.com/pdf/Datasheet-Flexia-Video-Microscope.pdf
