PCBA X-Ray Inspection System for BGA and Hidden Solder Joints | DEZ-X7600

The DEZ-X7600 PCBA X-Ray Inspection System uses high-resolution X-ray imaging to examine solder joints and internal structures that are hidden beneath electronic components.

It allows quality engineers to inspect BGA, QFN, LGA, CSP, semiconductor and other bottom-terminated components without cutting, opening or damaging the PCB assembly.

The 130 kV closed microfocus X-ray source, 5 μm focal spot and up to 150× geometric magnification reveal internal solder distribution, component position and connection conditions in real time.

By finding hidden defects before products leave the factory, the DEZ-X7600 helps manufacturers reduce repeated failures, prevent defective assemblies from reaching the next process and identify the real cause of soldering problems.

Inspection Capability Problem It Helps Identify

Find Defects Hidden Beneath Components

AOI and visual inspection can examine component position, polarity and visible solder fillets. They cannot directly see solder joints located underneath a BGA, QFN or other bottom-terminated package.

A board can therefore appear correct from the outside while containing defects such as: Solder bridging, Missing solder balls, Insufficient solder, Excessive solder, Solder voids, Component misalignment, Uneven solder-ball shape, Open-joint indications, Foreign material, Internal package damage.

The DEZ-X7600 transmits X-rays through the assembly and converts differences in material density into a visible image. Solder absorbs more X-ray energy than the surrounding PCB and component materials, allowing hidden solder joints to appear clearly on the inspection screen.

This gives quality engineers direct visual evidence instead of relying only on electrical symptoms or external appearance.

Applications of the PCBA X-Ray Inspection

BGA and CSP Inspection

Inspect hidden solder-ball arrays for bridging, missing joints, irregular ball shape, voids and component displacement.

QFN and LGA Inspection

Evaluate central thermal-pad solder coverage, voiding and hidden peripheral connections.

SMT Process Verification

Inspect first-article PCBAs and compare soldering results after changes to stencil design, paste volume, placement or reflow settings.

PCBA Failure Analysis

Examine suspect components after functional or electrical test failures without immediately removing them from the PCB.

Rework Quality Verification

Inspect BGA or QFN joints after component removal, rebelling or replacement to confirm the quality of the rework result.

Semiconductor and Electronic Component Inspection

Observe internal package structures, bond regions, connectors and other density differences in compatible electronic components.

Incoming Component Verification

Inspect high-value or suspect components before they enter production when internal condition or package integrity must be evaluated.

Inspect Without Damaging the PCBA

Traditional destructive analysis may require cutting the PCB, removing a component or preparing a cross-section.

These methods can provide detailed evidence, but the inspected board can no longer be returned directly to production.

The X-ray component counter does not need to unwind the tape. Operators place the complete reel inside the machine and receive the count from a single scan.

The DEZ-X7600 performs non-destructive inspection through the complete assembly. The PCBA remains intact and non-destructive X-ray inspection is particularly valuable for high-cost PCBAs, low-volume products, engineering samples and assemblies containing expensive semiconductors.
