INSPECTIS Launches HD-171 4-Direction Tilt Unit
April 18, 2019 | INSPECTIS ABEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
INSPECTIS AB announces the introduction of the HD-171 4-DIrection Tilt Unit. The HD-171 tilt unit makes side viewing possible in any direction and is designed to achieve easy and repeatable 30 degree angling of an Inspectis camera in four directions.
It is particularly aimed at users of the highly-praised Inspectis X-Y travel stands, but it can be used with other Inspectis double-boom stand assemblies.
The geometry is optimized for any of the Inspectis ’S’ series cameras including the latest 4K U30s, so that the working distance remains in the correct range for the Auto Focus to function whatever the zoom value being used.
The unit comes with separate handles for convenient movement in each axis and the mechanism has discrete stops for positive selection of positions.
This feature provides valuable additional degrees of freedom when performing optical inspection, especially of complex boards.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: PCB Routing: The Art—and Science—of Connection
06/11/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonMany people who design circuit boards love the routing part of the design. This is partially because we want to stop looking at the annoying rat's nest of connections, which seem to have no rhyme or reason at first glance. We want to get to something more exciting. Routing is the ultimate part of solving the puzzle. You take all the messy lines from the schematic and turn them into neat, organized paths.
