ReCET - Real-Time Micro Focus X-ray Equipment

The x-ray system is a non-intrusion system ideally suited for:

  • Inspection
  • Fault Analysis
  • Quality Control
  • Research and Development

The system can be used on a wide range of applications including electronic assemblies and components and mechanical assemblies and components.

Ceramics, plastics and composites can be analysed to determine fibre structures and alignment in carbon fibre devices, castings and welds can be inspected for porosity, cracks, inclusions and non-uniformity



Real-Time Micro Focus X-ray Equipment

It can be used on populated and unpopulated PCB's as well as individual components by inspection of the following:

  • Broken wedge bonds
  • Lifted ball bonds
  • Surface mount defects
  • Vias
  • Multi-layer alignment


The system features a high magnification of up to 1800x. The focal spot size can be as small as 2 microns, which means the smallest detail can be identified. E.g. the image opposite shows the bond wires on an IC, this can be used to check for breaks in the wires.



The system includes an auto BGA inspection process that consists of:

  • Short circuit analysis
  • Void calculations
  • Ball count
  • Ball alignment
  • Ball size
