Why is x-ray inspection increasingly important for electronics manufacturers?

Nigel Charig

As electronics boards continue to shrink and become ever more densely populated, x-ray inspection becomes increasingly critical to electronics manufacturing success - but how can you explain this convincingly to the manufacturers?

This article allowed X-ray inspection supplier Cupio to highlight the technology's capabilities by providing a case study about one of their customer installations.

Do your customer installations have built-in opportunities for case studies that demonstrate your product's advantages? If so, feel free to contact me and discuss how we can generate the story and deliver it through your media.

An article I wrote for Cupio – which supplies inspection equipment and solutions – describes an X-ray solution they supplied to contract electronics manufacturer FermionX. This supplies some insight into modern X-ray inspection capabilities within a production environment.

For example, manufacturers wishing to supply defence and military customers must have their own X-ray inspection capability, as such customers will only buy from suppliers with in-house inspection facilities. They cannot risk deploying products that have not been fully inspected.

Meanwhile, as components continue to shrink, manufacturing problems will become impossible to spot with the naked eye, so even companies working in less unforgiving environments are increasingly seeking the peace of mind that X-ray inspection provides.
