What is Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI) Technology? Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI) is a non-destructive testing method that utilizes X-rays to examine the internal structure and components of PCBs. Unlike traditional optical inspection techniques, AXI can penetrate through the layers of a PCB, providing a detailed view of solder joints, component […]

What is Automatic X-ray inspection (AXI)? Automatic X-ray Inspection (AXI) is a non-destructive testing method used to inspect the internal structure of manufactured products, particularly in the electronics industry. AXI systems utilize high-resolution X-ray imaging to detect defects, such as voids, cracks, and foreign objects, that may not be visible […]

Introduction to PCB AXI Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI) is a crucial technology in the PCB assembly process that ensures the quality and reliability of printed circuit boards. AXI systems use advanced imaging techniques to detect defects and anomalies in PCBs that are not visible to the human eye. This non-destructive […]

Understanding the PCB prototyping Process Before we dive into the methods of accelerating PCB prototyping, let’s first understand the basic steps involved in the process: Design: Create the schematic and layout of the PCB using CAD software. Fabrication: Manufacture the physical PCB based on the design files. Assembly: Solder components […]

What is PCB Prototyping? PCB prototyping is the process of fabricating a small number of printed circuit boards, usually 1-100 pieces, to test and validate a design before committing to a larger production run. Prototypes allow engineers to: Verify the functionality and performance of the circuit design Test the physical […]
