Industrial X-ray-based inspection machines refer to specialized equipment used for non-destructive testing and inspection in various industries. There are several types of industrial X-ray machines, including CT (Computed Tomography), Cabinet Type, and Micro Focus systems. Here is an overview of each type and their uses:

1. Computed Tomography (CT) Systems:

CT X-ray machines use a rotating gantry to capture multiple X-ray images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed to create a 3D model or cross-sectional slices of the object being inspected. CT systems are commonly used for:

• Industrial Metrology: CT can provide precise dimensional measurements, internal structure analysis, and surface reconstructions for quality control purposes.
• Failure Analysis: CT is useful for identifying internal defects or failures in components or assemblies without damaging them.
• Reverse Engineering: The 3D scanning capabilities of CT allow the creation of digital models from physical objects, aiding in product development and design.

2. Cabinet Type X-ray Systems:

These systems consist of a lead-shielded cabinet with an X-ray tube and a detector panel inside. The object to be inspected is placed on the cabinet’s conveyor system or platform, and the X-rays pass through it to create an image that can be viewed on a monitor outside the cabinet. Cabinet type X-ray systems are commonly used in various industries for:

• Quality Control: These systems can detect defects, voids, cracks, or foreign objects in manufactured components or assembled products.
• Component Analysis: Cabinet type X-ray systems are used to inspect the internal structure and integrity of electronic components, such as IC chips, connectors, and PCBs.
• Security Screening: These machines can be utilized for screening packages or bags in high-security environments to detect any hidden threats or contraband items.

3. Micro Focus X-ray Systems:

Micro Focus X-ray machines use a small focal spot size X-ray source to produce highly detailed images with high resolution. These systems are often used for:

• Electronics Inspection: Micro Focus X-ray systems can identify defects in solder joints, wire bonds, and other microelectronic components with very high precision.
• Semiconductor Industry: These machines are used to inspect integrated circuits (ICs), wafer-level packages (WLPs), semiconductor devices, and other microscale components.
• Medical Device Manufacturing: Micro Focus X-ray inspection is utilized to ensure the quality and reliability of medical devices such as pacemakers, stents, or implants by detecting any manufacturing defects or flaws.
