Rick,
Here at Quadrus we are using the Hewlett Packard 5DX, although quite
expensive, it especially inspects BGA very well.  The system is able to
divide each ball into 3 (up to 5) seperate measurements.  We check for
voiding, insufficient solder, excessive solder, bridging, misalignment
as well as missing balls, all automatically and in-line straight out of
reflow.  Gullwing, jleads, caps, resistor, pcaps etc. all get inspect
extremely quickly and automated. For boards with 5000 solder joints can
be inspected in less than 2 minutes (top and bottom) and a report will
be printed to alert t/u operator the exact ref. des. as well as pin
number.  This will cut down on the amount of time and money for Q.C and
manually inspecting hard to see solder joints.  Any other questions are
welcome off-line.

Thanks,
Sean M. Heffernan
