日前,Phoenix在德国的Produtronica上推出了包括microme|x在内的多款高精度全自动焊点检测仪器micro;AXI. Headlining these new products was one of the company latest technological developments, the breakthrough software platform x|act for the fast, CAD based fully automated inspection of solder joints (micro;AXI) at highest magnifications. It comes with a specifically designed, intuitive inspection program, which requires only a simple, one-time configuration and can be used with all phoenix|x-ray systems of the same type, which saves time and costs. By means of a scanning device, the component CAD-data is read into the X-ray system and laid over the image (live CAD-Overlay). This allows the user to have the complete sample data available at all times, even when rotating and tilting the sample and during ovhm. For ultimate ease-of-use, the software platform features a CAD view, which is constantly displayed in small view on the screen, to facilitate navigation of the sample. Another innovative feature is the height map, which displays differences in height in circuit boards caused by warping, shrinkage and strain and equalizes them automatically. The software platform was designed to offer the greatest possible ease of operation and can be controlled by either joystick or mouse control. Also on display was the microme|x, a fully AXI-capable inspection system equipped with state-of-the-art hard and software for highest magnifications and maximum defect detection at minimal cost. Combining high-quality automated X-ray inspection, 2D X-ray inspection and 3D computed tomography in one single system, the microme|x offers exceptional value from both a technological and economical standpoint. Another breakthrough product phoenix|x-ray was showcasing was the 180kV nanotomreg;, high-performance  system offering voxel resolutions of 0.5micro;m. It is the first  system ever to come standard with a 180 kV nanofocusreg; tube. Its granite-based manipulator system, digital 5MPixel detector and extended measurement range ensure excellent image resolution and highest magnifications. Another milestone has been the development of the 180 kV tube outfitted with  proprietary generator technology, which is now standard for most phoenix|x-ray inspection systems. Unlike 160kV tubes, the 180kV tube allows the inspection of even highly absorbent samples and, in combination with  high-performance generator technology and 4MPixel (and higher) detector, provides excellent image quality and high-quality inspection results.
