COMET Launches Versatile 2D/3D X-Ray Inspection System with FEINFOCUS HDX-Ray(TM)
1 August 2006
GARBSEN, GERMANY- COMET announces a dramatic enhancement to the award-winning FEINFOCUS µCT-FOX(TM) series of X-Ray inspection systems: the FEINFOCUS HDCT-FOX(TM). The new, versatile 2D/3D X-Ray inspection system combines high-resolution 2D X-Ray technology and enhanced 3D Computed Tomography techniques with proprietary FEINFOCUS HDX-Ray technology for detailed inspection and analysis of complex electronic devices in the 3rd dimension. Capturing the sharpest high-resolution 3D imagery available, the HDCT-FOX is ideal for thorough inspection of applications requiring high magnifications, such as MEMS/MOEMS, semiconductor packages, high-density interconnects, and hybrids.
The FEINFOCUS HDCT-FOX is the most versatile X-Ray inspection system offered by COMET, combining the functionality of a standard microfocus X-Ray system with the ability to generate 3D imagery. Utilizing FEINFOCUS HDX-Ray technology, the system instantaneously captures high-resolution 2D images and reconstructs 3D volume models with film-like quality, providing valuable insight into design and manufacturing processes. A modular hardware- and software-based CT interface accommodates a variety of imaging chains, with automatic configuration of the detector for optimal CT resolution.
The FEINFOCUS HDCT-FOX is designed for integration with proprietary iView(TM) technology developed by TeraRecon, allowing instantaneous uploading of sets of 3D images to a secure web site. This feature is unique, as it allows F/A service labs to transmit 2D and CT imagery instantly using a high-speed internet connection. Thus, the X-Ray scanning process can be centralized while the image analysis is decentralized, and vice-versa.
COMET is a successful international technology company in the growth markets of security, inspection, electronics and communication. As an expert in the field of applied physics, COMET provides a complete and highly flexible portfolio of components, modules, systems, and services from a single source.
COMET's Business Unit FEINFOCUS is the world's leading manufacturer of high-resolution automated X-Ray inspection systems, with more than 2,500 installations worldwide in high-productivity environments such as Electronics, Semiconductor Packaging, Automotive, Aerospace, and Medical Device. The company also offers full in-house X-Ray inspection services, such as failure analysis and component defect detection, and is a multi-year recipient of the electronics industry's prestigious Service Excellence Award. As the pioneer of Microfocus, Nanofocus, and Multifocus X-Ray inspection technologies, Business Unit FEINFOCUS has demonstrated leadership in product innovation in X-Ray inspection, including True X-Ray Intensity (TXI) control, Auto Isocentric Motion (AIM) technology for oblique inspection, and PCT/ACT imaging. The company encourages its customers to participate in on-site customer training and system demonstrations, and invites them to take full advantage of its applications development centers in Garbsen (near Hanover), Germany; Shanghai, China; Stamford, CT USA; and San Jose, CA USA.
COMET was founded in 1948 and is based in Flamatt near Berne, Switzerland. Production is carried out in Switzerland and Germany; the sales subsidiaries in the U.S. and China are complemented by a worldwide network of representatives.
