the direction in which the solders cool in a BGA are also different than the rest of the boards as the joints " hidden" to ambient. Refer to an analogus phenomenon in the cookson application note. http://www.cooksonsemi.com/pdfs/How%20&%20Why%20Bum

This is more lawyer stuff than engineering. In occasion like this one, it is probably time to open conversation around testing and hidden joints checks. In 21st century to perform only visual inspection is not a serious process, unless it is a very s

AOI (automatic optical inspection) is not capable to detect hidden joints (BGA, J-leads,...) defects. For that you will need X-Ray (AXI = Automated X-ray Inspection). Look @ http://www.agilent.com, they have both systems. It is usual that PWB manufac

Phil, The AOI will do a excellent job doing what you said you are looking for. We justified ours on the same requirements as you stated. Keep in mind that the machine may not "see" everything, there are some hidden joints that you will still need to

Agilent has a great article on determining whether automated optical inspection (AOI) or automated x-ray inspection (AXI) is right for you. It's a PDF file that can found here: http://www.ate.agilent.com/EMT/LIBRARY/X-RAY/DOCS/59883661en.pdf To sum

3D imaging refers to the acquisition of images from multiple perspectives using, preferably, multiple sources of illumination, while 2D imaging refers to the acquisition of an image from one perspective. An AOI system with 3D imaging is able to acq

Hello Ya'll, I've got what may be a silly question, but why does it seem so important to everybody that you have x-ray capability if you're thinking about doing BGA? I know what most people will tell me; "Steve, that's a pretty silly question
