YXLON Launches New X-ray Inspection Systems at productronica
November 14, 2017 | YXLON InternationalEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At this year’s productronica exhibition in Munich, YXLON International is launching its new X-ray inspection systems series Cheetah EVO and Cougar EVO. As technology advances at an ever-increasing rate, YXLON has acknowledged that a “one size fits all” X-ray system in advanced electronics no longer delivers the best solution to the customer. So Yxlon now has custom-built systems for SMT, semiconductor, and laboratory applications perfected for the specific challenges and needs of the respective sectors. Keith Bryant, Global Director Electronics Sales at YXLON, states: “There is no need for customers to compromise anymore.”
At a pre-show event on Monday afternoon, the experts from Yxlon presented the new features and advantages of this new concept to selected guests from the press and industry. At 9:45 today, the opening day of the productronica trade fair in Munich, YXLON is presenting the systems live to the public in booth A2/405.
The Cheetah EVO SMT offers users in the assembly industry accurate, fast, and repeatable inspection - both manually and automatically; high power, high resolution inspection of very small features, as well as easy to use, dynamic image enhancing filters like eHDR.
The Cheetah EVO Semi addresses the needs of semiconductor producers by providing accurate and repeatable void measurements and automated multi area void calculations, excellent resolution at low power and low kV, automated inspection routines, and quick ‘on the fly’ inspections.
The Cheetah EVO Plus is perfect for laboratory work. With microCT coming as standard in this system, users get the ultimate quality resolution for failure analysis, high-performance CT inspection, and highest industry CT reconstructions with VGStudio and CERA Software.
The Cougar EVO SMT, Cougar EVO Semi, and Cougar EVO Plus systems aim to make the above benefits possible for all companies. With their small system footprints, they are an affordable and space-saving choice for those with full factory floors.
