Still Time to Sign up for Goepel Webinar on Automated 2D/3D X-Ray Inspection
October 31, 2017 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Spots are still available for Goepel electronic’s free webinar, “A Look at the Technology in Practice – Fully Automated Inspection of Hidden Solder Joints and Voids” on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 11 AM EST.
The webinar will be introduced by a comparing selective-area and full surface X-Ray inspection. The advantages and disadvantages of these strategies will be presented and a technical and economic comparison will be explained. In addition, attendees will receive information about methods and technologies for the inspection of hidden solder joints of BGAs, QFNs, hidden components and voiding in large solder planes.
Learn more about the flexible use of 2D, 2.5D and 3D X-Ray imaging for maximum depth of inspection and gain an understanding of what scalable 3D image is capable of.
The following questions will also be addressed:
- How can I improve inspection depth and confidence in the quality of my PCBs?
- How can X-Ray technologies provide complete inspection at production speeds while simultaneously documenting detailed inspection results?
- Can X-Ray inspection technologies keep pace with the requirements of state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing?
- How will an X-Ray inspection system be integrated into the world of industry 4.0?
The webinar will conclude with an explanation of the optimum balance between image quality and inspection depth.
Goepel invites quality and production managers for electronic assemblies, technologists and production planners and CEOs and directors of electronic manufacturing companies to attend this FREE event.
To register, visit Goepel electronic’s “Automated 2D/3D X-Ray Inspection of single-sided and double-sided PCBs in the Production Line” event page.

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.
