Hello Ioan, As others have suggested, your particular application will most likely dictate the features that are important to you. We have a Dage model XD7500VR at our facility. We have great success using it for BGA analysis after placement and rework. It also works great for us when we use it to inspect for minimum solder barrel fill in military thru-hole applications. Our contact in the Northeast is: John Travis 603-321-3220 [log in to unmask] John is a very knowledgeable guy. Good Luck in your search, Peter Peter Vigneau General Manager Circuit Technology Center [log in to unmask] Phone: 978-478-5101 -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioan Tempea Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 8:54 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] X-Ray equipment Dear Technos, One more topic: what are your experiences with X-Ray equipment? Which brand/model would you recommend or not advise? We are a typical EMS and would like to inspect as accurately as possible BGAs and leadless. So voids and hole-fill measuring capability is desired. If possible, we would like to be able to localize an open BGA joint. Not exactly looking for big budget laminography machines like the 5DX, but it should at least be 2D plus rotation capability. Or a regular, not so loaded 3D system... On-line and off-line answers welcome.
