Scienscope to Exhibit Automated X-Ray Inspection Systems at SMTAI 2017
August 16, 2017 | Scienscope InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Scienscope International will demonstrate the AXC-800 X-ray component reel counter and X-SPECTION 6000 X-ray Inspection System at SMTA International 2017, scheduled to take place September 19-20, 2017 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Scienscope will be in Booth 229.
The table-top AXC-800 is an Automatic X-ray Inspection Component Counter designed for the inspection of components on traditional reels, from 01005 to odd form devices. However, this machine goes beyond standard inspection of components in 7” 13” and 15” reels, with the ability to inspect components in JEDEC trays (including BGA ball counting), ESD storage bags, storage tubes, or just about any form by using simplified algorithms built into the system for all types of components. If your component does not exist, you can add it using the user friendly GUI.
The X-SPECTION 6000 X-ray Inspection System is Scienscope’s most technologically advanced cabinet style X-ray inspection system. As with all X-SCOPE platforms, it includes every advanced software tool required for a wide variety of applications. With more tilt and a rotating work table, the X-SPECTION 6000 offers the ultimate in flexibility. Standard features of the X-SPECTION 6000 X-ray inspection system include:
- Fully integrated, 130 kV micro-focus high power closed X-ray tube
- 5" x 5" or 4" x 3" high resolution and ultra-resolution CMOS digital flat pane image detectors
- 60° camera tilt for oblique angle viewing
- 22" x 18" inspection stage with 350° rotation
- Color mapping camera with zoom window provides easy location and identification of faults
