Dage has developed a computerized tomography (CT) option for its XiDAT XD7600NT digital x-ray inspection system. The CT option further refines performance with volumetric reconstruction of solder joints.
CT is an imaging method employing tomography whereby digital geometric processing is used to generate a 3-D image model of an object from a large series of individual 2-D x-ray images, or slices, taken about a single axis of rotation.
The CT capability is available as an option with new systems and is suited for analytical analysis of interconnections for critical applications such as stacked die, MEMS, package-in-package and package-on-package. Equipped with this option, the system can quickly and easily convert between 2-D and 3-D modes for different inspection applications, is capable of ultra fast image reconstruction and can reconstructing up to 1,440 image slices.
When operating in 3-D mode, the sample is rotated in the x-ray beam and multiple 2-D digital images are captured. These 2-D images are fed in real-time to a dedicated reconstruction server where a 3-D model is available for viewing.
The reconstruction server can generate 3-D volumes of 2563, 5123 and 1,0243 using a Feldkamp cone beam reconstruction algorithm with either full or sub-volume reconstruction, with all calculations being carried out by 16 dedicated processing units running in parallel.
The reconstructed 3-D image model can be viewed online or off-line with dedicated image hardware allowing real-time manipulation of 3-D models. Image display features include:
Image Manipulation – rotate, pan and zoom
Clip Image – to eliminate unwanted detail
Volume Rendering – for creation of solid surfaces and maximum intensity, and to vary the opacity and color of volumes
Slices – multiple cross section at any orientation and the ability to vary the opacity and color of individual slices
Illumination Models – single light source or two light sources with shadow computation for optimal 3D perception
Image Save – saving 2D images in JPG or TIF formats

SchmartBoard has released two boards that address tiny discrete surface-mount components.
EZ Discrete #1 supports 0201, 0603, 0805, 1206,1210, 1608, 1812, 2010, 2512, & CAES-A, B, and C. EZ Discrete #2 supports SOT23-3, 5, 6, SC70-5,6, DPAK, D2PAK, SOT223, TO263-7, SOT89, 0805, 1206, & CASE-A, B, C, D and E. Many of these components are very small and require a magnifying glass to see, let alone hand-solder without creating shorts. The boards lock the component in place on the board, and are hand-soldered by touching the board with the soldering iron next to the component.
The SchmartBoard|ez line of prototyping boards was launched in September 2005. The technology makes it possible for novices to hand-solder difficult components quickly and flawlessly the first time they pick up a soldering iron. The family of boards allow engineers, students and hobbyists to hand solder surface-mount components and expanded their capabilities in creating electronic circuit projects.

INOCART material handling system and INOKIT software are designed to improve inventory accuracy and reduce material handling labor cost.
The products revolutionize the process of kitting and reloading SMT lines. The custom-configurable material handling solution allows numerous package types to be stored in a secure, controlled manner, whether that be reels, tubes, feeders or PCBs. The cart and software together increase inventory accuracy. Allows material to be received directly from the dock to stock/kits, eliminating non-value-added labor and the efforts of moving/transacting material into another stockroom after receipt.
The software was developed based on years of industry experience to deal with MRP systems that fall short of managing work in process. Uses “1 Package, 1 Location” technology to minimize machine setup/tear down and reload while maintaining accuracy of work in process inventory.
The supply chain management software increases visibility, presents actionable data, minimizes inventory liabilities and reduces cost. Helps increase SMT machine utilization accuracy and reduce unplanned material shortages by improving the inventory accuracy.
An SMT line can be loaded directly from INOCART on the line, eliminating kitting and staging of jobs prior to running on the SMT lines. Can hold feeders so kits can be presented to the SMT equipment ready to go.
