X-Ray Inspection System/Detector for SMT by Southern Machinery

Joints hidden under BGAs, QFNs, and shields cannot be inspected by eye or AOI. X-ray imaging reveals internal structures without damaging the board.

What is this machine used for?

X-ray inspection for SMT quality control: radiation penetrates the component and captures detailed internal images of hidden structures.

• Hidden joint checks: BGA, QFN, connector, shield-covered
• Solder defects: voids, bridges, insufficient joints
• First-article audits and failure analysis

How it fits into a complete PCB assembly line

1. Board exits reflow or wave soldering.
2. AOI inspects visible surfaces.
3. X-ray audits hidden joints that AOI cannot see.
4. Operators review images, then the board moves to test or assembly.

Key selection parameters for buyers

• Sample size and weight (standard: under 5 kg)
• Required image area and magnification (460 x 360 mm, 1000x system)
• Power supply and radiation safety compliance

ROI perspective

Finding hidden solder defects before test or field use cuts rework, returns, and scrap. One station can audit samples from several lines; ROI modeling is case by case - no generic guarantees.

FAQ

What defects can X-ray inspection find?

Voids, bridges, insufficient or cracked joints, and internal issues under BGAs, QFNs, and connectors.

Is this the same as the AX6000 X-ray counter?

No. AX6000/ADL100 count SMD reels; this system images assembled boards for hidden-joint inspection.

What sample size can it test?

Under 5 kg, with a 460 x 360 mm image area.

What power does it need?

Single phase AC 110-220V, 50/60 Hz.

Is X-ray inspection safe?

Leakage is <= 0.5 uSv/h; follow local safety rules and operator training.

Does it replace AOI?

No - it complements AOI: AOI sees visible surfaces, X-ray sees internal and hidden joints.
