Hi Greg, I have the same problem over here in Belgium. I have been looking to rent an X-ray but for the moment I only found Glenbrook as a possible source. So I would be very interested if you find any alternative. Furthermore I am also interested i

i am planning on implementing a new bga assembly and would like to have an x-ray system on hand during this process. I know that Glenbrook rents x-ray systems but the price is more per month than i would cost me to send out each PCB individually. D

We have been looking into some sort of higher level inspection system as well. But we have been fairly well convinced that X-Ray is far better than AOI. X-Ray is not only good for BGA's, it is also good for any solder related problems. AOI can onl

My company is also researching AOI systems and X-ray inspection equipment. Almost all of our assemblies are mixed technology, and contain considerable hand load. Is anyone out there using AOI post solderwave?

Genny, Would you use the X-Ray in addition to AOI? Or would it be in place of? If so, would it pick out wrong value components? Polarity? I never thought of it as a replacement. Seems like you have investigated into this. Do you mind sharing your fin

Greg, Check out Circuit Technology Center in Haverhill MA. We have 3 Air Vac BGA Rework systems and 1 Nicolet X-ray system. We offer either\or BGA rework services and X-Ray services. You can get a little more info at http://www.circuitnet.com/cat

We've recently purchased a Nicolet Imaging System. There are several brands on the market and some alternatives. From our research we found that you basically get what you pay for. I would plan on spending from 30k to 60k for a good quality system

Yins, In low volume applications, using X-ray for BGA mounting process control is: 1 Very expensive approach, as you've stated. 2 Requires beaucoup operator training and interpretation of results. Which is double bad, because of the intermittent n

We are already using ICT on the PCB, which should catch most missing components, also components installed backwards, or the wrong value(to a point - we do RF so we have lots of very small value caps and inductors which can't be measured), and in som

Try Diagnosys.com They run a quick turnaround, low cost service in the UK. CR Technology may do the same in the US. Both have Hi Quality Software for results interpretation. Also worth considering Hirox BGA Inspection systems at Diagnosys.com
