Free Webinar: X-Ray Inspection for PCB Manufacturing

Considering X-ray inspection but unsure where to start? 

Q1 2026 | Register Your Interest Now

Modern PCB designs are more intricate, multilayered, and densely packed than ever, with component connections entirely hidden after assembly. BGAs, QFNs, and other bottom-terminated packages are now standard, but their hidden solder joints remain invisible to optical inspection, manual methods, and even functional testing.

X-ray inspection has become a cornerstone technology in electronics manufacturing, detecting voids, misalignments, and bridging that compromise reliability. While BGAs drive much of the adoption, manufacturers rely on X-ray systems across a broader spectrum: process control, failure analysis, wire bond verification, and multilayer board validation.

Choosing the right system for your assembly line can be difficult.

Questions We'll Answer

• "How do I know if we actually need X-ray inspection?"
• "Systems look similar on paper. How do I compare them?"
• "Are more powerful X-ray systems the best choice?"
• "Should we start with offline or go straight to inline integration?"
• "How do I justify the investment when X-ray doesn't increase throughput?"
• "What's the real difference between 2D, 2.5D, and 3D inspection?"
