OVHM Technology - oblique views at highest magnification

Conventional tilt techniques generate oblique views by simply tilting the sample, which involves moving the region of interest away from the X-ray tube resulting in a decrease in magnification. 

The OVHM|module was specifically designed to enable oblique views of up to 70 degrees and 0 to 360 degree rotations at highest magnification. 

Unlike conventional systems, the X-ray tube is located above the sample tray allowing the user to move the sample as close to the tube head as needed. Only this guarantees highest magnification in combination with easiest sample handling.

Schema of OVHM-technology: Oblique views give excellent information on features that can not be revealed in top-down view at highest magnification.
Phoenix X|act - designed to inspect

Phoenix X|act is a powerful image processing software to program automatic test cycles. Manual as well as fully automated X-ray inspection can be done easy and self-explanatory. It is available in two versions: base and operator offer multiple new features like:

  • Easy macro recording for intuitive programming of inspection tasks 

    - Easy teach in of positioning and image processing parameters

    - All display settings can be saved with one click

  • Enhanced sample map functions – once created, the sample map can be used for all boards of the same type
  • Clear live image quality – the X-ray image enhancement ensures higher defect detection
  • Live CAD data overlay
  • Automated savings of results, images and X-ray sample maps
  • CAD based programming
