Incap’s Estonian Factory Invests in Innovative X-ray Technology
March 4, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The electronics manufacturing company Incap Estonia, based in Saaremaa, has enhanced its quality control capabilities with a new high-resolution X-ray system. The nearly EUR 200,000 investment will improve the inspection of electronic components, accelerate defect detection, and reduce delivery times.
According to Margus Jakobson, Managing Director of Incap Estonia, the new X-ray system is a significant addition to the company’s state-of-the-art technology. “The fully automated inspection capabilities enable faster and more precise defect detection, reducing the risk of errors and increasing production process accuracy and efficiency. This means more reliable and higher quality products for our customers”, Jakobson explained.
The new system offers higher precision and superior image quality, capturing even the most detailed visuals. Its advanced 3D capabilities allow for in-depth analysis of complex components and layered structures, which is crucial for the production of high-tech electronics such as microchips and printed circuit boards. Thanks to open-tube technology, the new system is not only more accurate and faster but also more energy-efficient and has a longer lifespan.
“Beyond the technical advantages, user-friendliness is also an important factor. Intuitive controls and automatic settings simplify the workflow and reduce the time needed for implementation. This makes the system more convenient and accessible even for operators with less experience”, Jakobson added.
As an international electronics manufacturing company, Incap provides cutting-edge electronic solutions for both large industrial players and emerging startups. Incap’s electronics can be found in remote-read electricity meters, electric scooters on the streets, smart street lighting across different regions of Estonia, as well as in the equipment of the world’s largest maritime corporations and the systems of renowned elevator manufacturers.
