YXLON Cheeta EVO

Optimized automated X-ray and CT quality inspections

Cheetah EVO responds to the need for improved, automated operation with integrated workflows in the FGUI operating software. The Comet Yxlon FF CT software is designed to start automatically for faster reconstruction and visualization. It has a unique ability to render 3D cinematic images with a preset selection of transfer functions (TF), resulting in the most realistic, vivid visualization available today.

SMT inspections: grand performance for small devices

Due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic components, more and more features must fit in an ever-smaller area. For the most accurate and repeatable quality inspection results, a test system must not only provide high performance and resolution but also needs to be equipped with dynamic image enhancement filters. The Comet Yxlon Cheetah EVO features:

 

Large flat-panel detectors with up to 50% larger field of view for a better overview and faster working processes due to reduced steps in automated processes

Best laminography with micro3Dslice, with detailed 3D visualization for quick and easy failure analysis – resulting in substantial cost-savings compared to micro sectioning

Automatic void calculation with VoidInspect, the laminography-based inspection workflow enabling the rapid non-destructive analysis of voids inside the solder joints of board components

Integration in the production line: ProLoop (Link auf Video weiter unten) allows direct communication with inline AOI / AXI inspection systems

Optional high load capacity (< 20 kg) with reinforced table and mechanics: Several parts and electronic interconnects in fixed packages can be inspected at once – a real-time saver

Semicon inspections: maximum resolution at minimum voltage

Electronic components and semiconductor devices are the key elements of most electronic systems. Due to their compactness and density, testing requires maximal image resolution at low power and low voltage. Void compilations, including multi-area voiding, need accurate, repeatable inspection routines. The Comet Yxlon Cheetah EVO offers:

Highly sensitive detector with optional low dosage mode

High detail recognition through an integrated image chain

Integrated, automatic defect detection with FGUI (e.g. voids in bumps)

Laboratory inspections: leading technology for precise analysis

The inspection of electronic components during research and development is highly complex and requires a broad range of features. Computed tomography with the Comet Yxlon Cheetah EVO is the technology of choice for detailed analyses of micro components such as those used in batteries, connectors, and medical devices.

Exceptional CT quality due to a range of highly sensitive detectors with excellent contrast-to-noise ratio

Realistic, vivid visualization by Comet Yxlon FF CT software, integrated with the FGUI user interface workflows with individual 3D cinematic renderers, artifact reduction, and a preset selection of transfer functions (TF)
