COMET has added an upgrade to its Feinfocus Cougar X-Ray platforms: Computerized Numerical Control (CNC). This enables operators to program and automate x-ray inspection procedures, as well as perform 2-D measurements of hidden details during failure analysis without the need for calibration.
CNC provides numerous benefits, facilitating an efficient failure analysis process. With the ability to program the manipulation system of the platform, CNC can automatically position the optical overview camera in the optimal position for inspection. Operators can even program the entire inspection process with CNC, including x-ray parameters and image processing, eliminating costly variables associated with manual control. User-friendly “teach-in” buttons enable easy programming.
The platform provides x-ray inspection for a range of inspection needs, from 2-D failure analysis of manufacturing components to advanced 3-D imaging of complex BGA and wafer-level packages. Has a small, ergonomic design, small footprint (approximately 1 m x 1 m), low system weight (approx. 1,450 kg) and convenient front- and side-door service access. Includes a microfocus x-ray tube up to 160 Kv, standard 5-axes manipulator with Auto Isocentric Motion (AIM) Technology for oblique viewing, CNC Capabilities, HDX-Ray real-time 16-bit image processing, digital flat panel detector and a hardware-driven anti-collision system.

PCB Probe Kit provides new or additional test points on PCBs. Engineers attempting to debug an existing system will find this tool useful for hands-free probing and viewing signals on a logic analyzer, oscilloscope, meter or other instrument.
The following components are included: arm probe with a heavy base, spring loaded tip, rotatable head and fine vertical adjustment knob for precise positioning to adjacent test points; small lead clips enabling quick connection to SMD leads from 0.5 to 0.2 mm lead pitch; large lead clips for connection to leads from 1.25 to 0.3 mm lead pitch; SMD clips in four sizes (0201, 0402, 0603, and 0805); SMD clip support with guide wire; and an integrated magnifying glass with tweezers.

FLIP Solder Bath for lead-free reflow soldering features linear induction pumping technology in which three phases of AC currents flow through induction coils to induce horizontal magnetic fields inside solder bath. The magnetic fields generate vertical force, F, per Fleming’s left hand law. The Force moves molten solder upward through nozzles and flow down by gravity. Two induction coils generate magnetic field and propelling force as the alternating AC current flows in induction coils. Developed for use in selective soldering systems.
Features advantages over other solder bath systems, including less solder used (300 kg, instead of 450 kg) and less solder dross (7 kg vs. 15 kg), after 8 hours of operation.This results in less waste. This feature uses one third less solder for cost savings. Offers ease of maintenance — open space to access inside bath – and easier nozzle cleaning and maintenance. Improved machine reliability and up time is realized — no motors, impeller shafts or belts. Said to feature a quieter, more stable solder wave than impeller motor types. Acid oxidization around the motor spindle is eliminated and a quicker response results.
