Altus Group, a distributor of electronics assembly equipment in the UK and Ireland, will be adding the Xspection 6600 to its inspection portfolio as its flagship Scienscope offering. The system’s advanced features allow Altus to cater for applications that need stronger penetration, larger magnification and a bigger board size, representing a significant leap forward in non-destructive testing capabilities for high-density PCB and advanced package inspection.
Designed for manufacturers requiring high levels of detail and reliability, the Xspection 6600 unit features a powerful 160 kV open X-ray tube with 1000 μA current and a spot size down to 1 μm. With geometric magnification of 200x, a 65° tilt range and a 890 mm diameter inspection table (circumference 2798 mm), the system provides comprehensive analysis capabilities across a wide range of board and component sizes.
Joe Booth, CEO at Altus Group, says: “We’ve had a great history with Scienscope and been very effective over the years with many installations. While most customer needs are met by the Xspection 3000 (a 110-130 kV closed tube unit), the Xspection 6600 addresses a real need in the market for customers the require deeper, more accurate inspection of increasingly complex assemblies. The combination of high-power X-ray imaging and larger magnification gives our customers unprecedented insight into their products.”
To enhance inspection performance even further, Scienscope has integrated self-learning AI software for faster interpretation, fewer false calls and simplified programming. The enhanced BGA tool specifically reduces false alarms, while AI-driven image processing supports manufacturers looking to increase productivity and consistency in complex inspection tasks.
