Nikon XTH-225 Electronics CT X-ray Inspection System

PSI's Nikon XTH-225 system with 3D volume reconstruction is specifically designed for inspection and 3D visualization of electronic assemblies and components. Boasting 225kV power and flexible fixturing, this powerful system can reveal miniature features and furtive anomalies with amazing clarity and perspective. The Varex 4343 High-Grade Amorphous-Silicon digital flat panel detector offers 2800 x 2880 pixel array (8.3 MegaPixel) resolution, with a 430 x 430 mm real-time field of view. CT X-ray can be performed destructively or non-destructively. However, for optimal scans of samples larger than a few inches, it is often necessary to excise the area of interest from the circuit assembly, in order to obtain the magnification and contrast necessary for a high quality scan.

Nikon XTV-160 Electronics CT X-ray Inspection System

PSI's Nikon XTV-160 X-ray system also allows inspection and 3D visualization of electronic assemblies and components. As the name suggests, a powerful 160kV source penetrates most circuits and modular electronics samples with ease. The Varian 1515DXT-I Detector is 1125x1152 (1.3 MegaPixel) resolution. Nikon's proprietary Xtract technology uses table rotation to allow X-ray scans of large, intact samples, with results that approximate those of conventional (axial rotation) scans,  avoiding the destructive sample prep that is usually required larger samples.
