Computrol Equips Meridian Facility with New Automatic 3D X-ray
August 31, 2020 | Computrol, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Computrol, Inc., a world-class provider of mid- to low-volume, high-mix electronic manufacturing services to OEMs, announced that it has purchased a X7056-II automatic 3D X-ray inspection system from Viscom. Newly installed at the company’s Meridian facility, the award-winning system features extremely high throughput and superb image quality for the requirements in high-end electronics production.
The X7056-II AXI in-line system can ensure precise inspection of hidden solder joints and components in high-volume production. It is equipped with the xFastFlow transport module, which cuts printed circuit board changing times. With this feature, Computrol can process up to three boards at the same time. The handling design also means that significantly larger board sizes can be inspected and the scope of angled radiation is extended.
Computrol continues to build on its core services and capabilities by investing in versatile, high-speed manufacturing equipment and technology, as well as continuing training programs for employees. The company continually updates its state-of-the-art facilities with new advanced systems to keep up with its customers’ needs. This addition is another milestone which will help ensure product quality and reliability in real time.

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.
