Computed Tomography Software Inspect-X:  X-ray and CT acquisition and processing

Inspect-X:  X-ray and CT acquisition and processing software

Inspect-X has been designed around the user experience, resulting in intuitive and productive X-ray inspection. Inspect-X features user friendly wizards to guide users through complex inspections, as well as utilizing the most advanced visualization and analysis function capabilities. XT V systems with Inspect-X enable rapid deployment of new product lines, within minutes, rather than hours or days.

Benefits & features

Real time X-ray inspection

• On-screen joysticks and mouse gestures, as well as conventional intuitive joystick control, for interactive live part positioning
• Variable magnification and tilted viewing angle allow real time detection of defects such as head-in-pillow
• Magnification, tilt and rotate in all positions whilst maintaining a region of interest consistently locked into the center of the field-of-view
• Clear imaging engine provides crystal-clear live images
• Real-time imager for interactive visualization

Image enhancement and analysis

C.Clear intelligently adapts to changing X-ray conditions and sample positions, automatically adjusting image controls, contrast and brightness in order to provide the clearest and sharpest images to aid in defect recognition. Real-time enhancements and filters can be chosen and stored as user profiles to suit different sample types or individual operator preferences.

With C.Clear, operators can make fast and well-informed decisions, enabling defects to be detected correctly first time, especially for hard to detect faults within multi-tier BGA or complex bond wires. The C.Clear imaging engine enables manufacturers to increase inspection throughput and to reduce false call rates, leading to improved quality and efficiency.

• Real-time enhancements and filters stored as user profiles to suit different sample types or individual operator preferences
• Image processing filters (sharpen, smooth, edge detect, emboss, background subtract, etc.)

Insightful reporting

Inspect-X provides a suite of easy-to-use tools and customizable HTML templates for endless real-time or automated reporting possibilities. Reports can be easily shared with colleagues or suppliers to facilitate decision-making. Results are available for offline analysis and troubleshooting on validation station.

Maximize productivity
