Original Press Release:
FocalSpot's Latest X-Ray Inspection Technology Verifier HR FSX-090
Master UK distributor X-Axys and representatives Detech and PrimeOption have already sold multiple systems to Europe since May 2005 product introduction.
San Diego, California - July 13, 2005 - FocalSpot, Inc. (www.focalspot.com), a premier provider of SMT Inspection and Rework equipment for the electronics manufacturing industry, announced today the début of its Verifier HR X-Ray Inspection System into the European market. FocalSpots's European master distributor X-Axys and representatives Detech and PrimeOption were able to first demonstrate the precision of this cost-effective x-ray inspection solution at NEPCON UK 2005, just two short months ago and since then multiple orders have been place.
The Verifier HR is an affordable high-resolution x-ray system designed to address a broad range of failure analysis and manufacturing/rework quality assurance applications. The Verifier HR provides fast intuitive inspection of PCBs up to 16 inches x 18 inches (400mm x 457mm). A 90kV, 5-micron x-ray source supplies more than enough power to penetrate challenging shielded packages, while the high-definition imaging train provides >650X magnification for ultra clear inspection of nearly microscopic interconnections. The Verifier HRs' small 32 inch by 34 inch (813mm x 864mm) footprint design allows the system to be easily rolled to wherever needed.
Several key features of FocalSpot's Verifer HR were repeatedly commented on by NEPCON UK show attendees as compared with other x-ray inspection solution suppliers:
o Resolution - Attendees remarked, "Image resolution of the Verifer HR's 90kV tube was better or equal to image quality displayed on competitive systems costing two or three times the price of the Verifier HR."
o Price/Performance - Numerous attendees were enthusiastic about the price/performance of the Verifier HR, and several stated, "They had been waiting for an affordable x-ray inspection system to hit the UK/European region." Pricing for specific regions can be identified by contacting the local representative in that area, www.focalspot.com/map-world.htm
o System Size - Attendees remarked, "that the Verifer HR's self-contained footprint of only 813mm x 863mm (32" x 34") made this system extremely flexible, as it could easy be moved between production floor, prototype lab, rework areas as needed."
o Ease of Use - Those who operated the system remarked, "How easy it was to setup and run a first time inspection routine - and to actually be able to determine solder joint faults and measurements on a BGA in their first attempt."
Frank Silva, Vice President of Sales for FocalSpot, Inc. remarked, "It is generally known that x-ray system cost and operational complexity have often been a deterrent to broader market utilization. Therefore, reducing system cost and operational complexity is the basic design premise behind FocalSpot's Verifier Series of x-ray inspection solutions, providing our customers with outstanding performance at an affordable price."
