ZDI Announces Altest's Acquisition of Viscom 8011 X-ray Inspection Equipment
February 9, 2024 | ZDIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Zero Defects International [ZDI] has announced the acquisition by Altest Corporation of a state of the art XRay inspection system for utilization in their printed circuit board assembly [PCBA] manufacturing facility located in San Jose, California. This X8011-III – 2D and 3D X-ray will enable high quality inspection usage and will further assure continued outstanding product performance as delivered to Altest customers.
Brian Seng, CEO, mentioned several selection factors including technical capabilities and equipment reliability as well as the importance of both Viscom and ZDI's well known reputations for technical service and support. The system is equipped with computer tomography to do failure analysis. This trend-setting, three dimensional inspection technique opens completely novel glimpses into the inner structure of an object that until now were not possible without destroying it. Additionally, the X8011-III X-ray system can be integrated into the production line and intelligently networked with other systems to optimize the manufacturing process. ZDI President, Michaela Brody, expressed appreciation for Altest’s selection in the context of a highly competitive environment for this type of equipment.
