Goepel electronic to Showcase Flexible Test and Inspection Solutions at productronica 2017
October 12, 2017 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At productronica 2017, Goepel electronic will be presenting its fully automated inspection solutions that are offering high fault detection, flexibility and cost reductions through time savings. Goepel electronic will be in Hall A1, Booth 235.
Being highlighted is the new StingRay X-ray detector, an additional option for the system family X Line·3D. With a highly flexible image acquisition concept consisting of high-speed axes and a flat-panel detector, selective 2D, 2.5D and 3D X-ray inspection of complex PCBs is possible. The new technology ensures even better layer separation and brighter images, especially in 3D images, but keeps the balance between image quality and inspection speed.
In the field of automated optical inspection (AOI), the system software PILOT AOI is being premiered with the new feature, MagicClick, which enables fully automated creation and optimization of AOI test programs, including component library, using a sample PCB. In only about three minutes, a production-ready test program can be generated. In comparison to the conventional approach, MagicClick offers significant cost savings and allows the use of AOI even for the smallest volumes. MagicClick is presented as part of VarioLine·3D, the AOI system for full 3D measurement of solder joints and components using an additional 360° angled-view.
PILOT Connect, the core of inspection solutions being offered in support of Industry 4.0, provides the most flexible MES connections. In combination with PILOT Supervisor, centralized verification of all inspection results from multiple inspection systems and types in the line becomes reality.
SCANFLEX II Cube is the new generation of JTAG/Boundary Scan controllers for board level embedded test. Based on state-of-the-art multi-core processors and FPGAs, the system sets new standards in the support of Embedded JTAG Solutions. The boards own circuitry is used for test and programming of complex boards with greatly reduced physical access requirements. With its multifunctional architecture, SCANFLEX II Cube supports numerous applications.
productronica 2017 will be held in Munich, Germany, from November 14-17, 2017.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
