Electronics X-Ray Inspection

Micro CT for Electronics Failures Investigations

3D CT x-ray is a powerful inspection method for printed circuit board (PCB) and electrical components. Our x-ray inspection services involves CT scanning an entire board, assembly or individual component down to single digit micron resolution in small areas such as ball grid arrays (BGA) and IC bond wires. 

 

Save time and money by quickly identifying opens, bridging, cracks connection and voiding issues with CT scan 3D x-ray inspection services from Delphi Precision Imaging.

Failed Electronic
Capacitor

Using CT scanning technology, we are able to see the details of a failed component or assembly, without compromising the part. Non-destructively inspecting the internal details is often key to understanding the failure, and getting to direct and root cause.

 Computed Tomography
Scan of Bare PCB

Evaluate PCB quality by visualizing each layer individually, board cross section and components. Find board shorts, trace/via connection issues, layout, etching and delamination issues. Inspect populated components, opens, shorts/bridges, solder quality/voiding. Our electronic component failure analysis testing and imaging also allow us to reverse engineer boards when CAD files are lost.

CT scan of a printed circuite board results in a 3D digital model that can be inspected non-destuctively.
3D CT Scan of Cable Assembly
w/ Volume Graphics Analysis

Inspection of complete assembly and individual wire conductors, bundles, insulation, shielding, joints and connectors. Segmentation of the high density internal components identifies breaks, shorts, solder voids, and inclusions. Supporting failure analysisand vendor qualification.

After CT scanning the cable, we can perform segmentation of high density components.
CT scan data of a cable assy is post-processed with Volume Graphics to segment, isolate, identify and analyze conductor damage.
3D X-ray Inspection of Rechargeable Battery Pack

Identify failure causes by inspecting the complete assembly & components for failure.  Examine component solder joint connections, battery connections, jelly roll, ground planes.  Resulting electronic CT scan can identify issues with connector mounted to PCB.

Ball Grid Array (BGA) Inspection

High resolution CT scan of a ball grid array (BGA) inspecting for voiding, missing balls, bridging, poor  reflow. We are able to isolate and examine balls from any orientation and can achieve single digit micron resolution.

Digital Camera - Industrial CT

Digital Camera Electronic CT Scan provides our customers the ability to examine the fully assembled part.  Virtually slice through layers of their product and inspect/measure the internal electronics, mechanical components and fitment without disturbing or destroying their part.
