Robert Boguski, Regina Lathrop and other Datest personnel will give attendees a preview of the company’s latest equipment acquisition – a 225kV custom-made VJ Technologies advanced digital radiographic inspection imaging system, which was delivered Nov. 7th. This system will provide Datest with a reliable high precision Micro Focus X-ray inspection platform for numerous failure analysis, materials science, metrology and inspection applications. High-level assistance in the form of Ph.D.-level radiographic and ASNT Level III technicians also will be available on a project-by-project basis. The system is in the process of being assembled and prepared for operation by Datest and VJT personnel, and will go live at the end of 2017.
Additionally, they will discuss the company’s testing, engineering and PCB reverse engineering services, and value-added services including:
- Bonepile Rehabilitation Services
- 3D and CT-Scan X-ray/Failure Analysis Service
- Improved and enhanced flying probe test services
- Improved and enhanced in-circuit testing services

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
