GOEPEL electronics’ Faster X-ray Inspection with X-Line 3D
September 21, 2015 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The inline AXI system from GOEPEL electronics now offers an even faster high-end 3D inspection of complex assemblies. The “X40 PLUS” upgrade enables an X-ray inspection speed increase of up to 18 percent.
Optimization the imaging chain in combination with an improved axle system and faster execution of the test algorithms results in significant savings of cycle time depending on the maximum resolution and the board dimensions. As an example, a 216 x 164 mm assembly with more than 8000 solder joints requires only about 40 seconds for complete 3D X-ray inspection.
The X-Line 3D is an inspection system for safe testing of double-sided boards. The three-dimensional X-ray inspection captures both top and bottom sides within a single pass. Based on a real time multi-angle image, recording a complete 3D inspection of the assembly is possible. Integrated reconstruction methods based on digital thomosynthesis enables the defined evaluation of individual layers of the circuit board under test.
The speed increase is possible for all existing X40 Systems of the Series 200 by upgrading.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
