Zentech Adds Nordson DAGE Automated X-Ray Inspection Capabilities
October 27, 2015 | Zentech ManufacturingEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Zentech Manufacturing is pleased to announce the addition of the Nordson DAGE xi3400 AXI system. This new Nordson DAGE AXI system offers complete 3D inspection of solder joints and other critical hidden features found in electronic assemblies, PCBs and packaged semiconductors. Ideal for both in-line or off-line operation, the Xi3400’s innovative algorithms enable fast and reliable automated inspection and real-time monitoring of critical process information.
Utilizing the Nordson DAGE patented Digitial Tomosynthesis Technology, the Xi3400 acquires multiple images in different slice heights in one inspection cycle. The images can discriminate between components on the top and bottom slices of double sided boards for unimpeded automated inspection.
System installation at Zentech is planned for early December. The addition of advanced x-ray capabilities further illustrates Zentech’s commitment to utilizing automated technology equipment sets to assure high quality electronic assemblies are delivered to their customers.
Waleid Jabai, VP of Technology at Zentech comments, “the xi3400 AXI system meets Zentech’s requirements for both high speed and high accuracy in advanced electronic product manufacturing. The xi3400 AXI’s complex software algorithm and image discrimination between sides of the circuit assembly will provide us with high speed inspection and greatly reduce escapes by eliminating the human error factor - especially when inspecting BGAs and BTC’s. AXI capability, coupled with our existing SPI and AOI systems, assures our customers that Zentech is committed to the highest quality levels obtainable.”

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
