So far, we have not found x-ray systems to be all that helpful with BGA inspections. The main issue is that there is still no way to see if the balls are actually soldered. Alignment and shorts can be seen though.

Hi, We're starting to look into x-ray systems, specifically for BGA inspection. Units by Glenbrook caught my attention due to their low cost relative to other units on the market. Anybody have any feedback, positive or negative on their products? I'd also appreciate any other insight you might care to share regarding other vendors and BGA X-ray. Thanks.
