3D-BGA Inspection System Finds Faults Missed By X-Ray

Three Rivers, MA � The 3D-BGA Inspection System from the O.C. White Co. finds faults that X-ray inspection systems can miss, such as presence of flux, micro-cracking, cold solder joints, and more. The 3D-BGA Inspection System is the best means of verifying the BGA process and determining any necessary changes to the profile. This uniquely flexible inspection system, utilizing advanced 3 Chip Camera technology, features a revolutionary lens design that delivers an incredible depth of field from a magnitude of 50x to 200x, and can �look� under a micro-BGA with as little as 2 mils of clearance. Its lens can be easily rotated to yield clear, sharp 3D Images from various angles, for comprehensive and reliable inspection of solder joints, solder paste prints, surface structure, placement alignment, and other defects.

The unit is equipped with an ESD-safe new ball bearing easy-adjust boom stand for the camera vision module, and new precision X-Y table. This high-end table offers extremely precise movement (no slop) in start-stop modes, no additional travel when movement stops, and moves in both planes with the push of a single button. It is ESD-safe and can be used with static-dissipative pads, etc. The 3D BGA Inspection System is constructed of ESD-safe components for complete safety and protection of delicate electronic circuits. Its metal halide 12v light source provides 4 fiber optic light bundles with intense white light at 5500�k; a process that provides true daylight illumination for color rendering and color balance, with no blind spots.

The 3D BGA Inspection System from the O.C. White Co. can be equipped with an optional high-resolution real time video scale and measurement system, and an easy-to-use optional QA documentation system that features data download capability for archiving or worldwide e-mail transmissions.
