Goepel Inline X-ray System Offers Shorter Cycle Times and Faster PCB Handling
May 24, 2017 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Goepel electronic has launched the latest version of its X Line · 3D in-line X-ray system, which features improvements in hardware and software functions to ensure even higher test speeds and shorter cycle times.
The X Line · 3D Series 300 offers improved PCB transfer, significantly reducing PCB assembly handling time. In addition, systems of the speed variant X40PLUS are now capable of scanning speeds of up to 510 mm/s during image acquisition. Also, the Series 300 has a new soft-stop option that can be used to stop circuit boards and ceramic substrates in seconds, thereby avoiding the risk of damage as with mechanical "hard stops".
On the software side, the new version of PILOT AXI 3.3, which is now available for the X Line · 3D, features advanced test functions that capture air inclusions (voids) and solder balls even more reliably. In addition, it has new filter options that provide additional image optimization.

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.
