X-ray and Vision Inspection
Integrated Into One
Extraordinary Machine
through Extraordinary Technology:
The Dual-VU™
March 2010
Glenbrook Technologies introduces The Dual-VU system providing
simultaneous and corresponding magnified real-time x-ray and optical
imaging of electronic and medical components. This unique patented*
development provides a quality control and component authentication
capability never before realized.
The Dual-VU system employs Glenbrook’s patented "Magnification
Fluoroscopy" x-ray camera technology, unsurpassed in providing x-ray
image detail at low radiation levels, insuring operator safety.
APPLICATIONS |
|
 |
 |
| BGAs: In a single pass, Glenbrook's Dual-VU reveals both hidden faults (missing or mis- registered balls and solder bridges or voids) and problems that require visual inspection (such as potato chipping). |
Leaded IC Components: Lifted leads, solder joint integrity and placement accuracy may all be verified simultaneously with the Dual-VU. |
 |
 |
| Multi-Layer Boards: In the failure analysis lab, Dual-VU makes it possible to visually identify and track a signal trace, which cannot be done with conventional x-ray techniques. |
Multi-Wire, Multi-Layer: The Dual-VU enables users of this technology to confirm electrical continuity of the plating after drilling. |
How It Works |
|
|
This new system combines two of Glenbrook’s patented* developments. First, the MXRA real-time x-ray
camera provides This unique ability to perform as an “x-ray microscope” allows the second innovation — the addition of a vision camera to simultaneously view the inspected device along the same axis. The vision capability is made possible by the use of a special dichroic mirror, transparent to x-rays but polished to a precision optical finish for a sharp vision image. The result is a unique system that provides dual and simultaneous images, even at varying magnifications. *Patent Numbers: 7,426,258 and 5 590 170 |
