OverviewNikon XT V Series X‑ray CT inspection systems provide high‑resolution non‑destructive inspection for electronic components (PCBs, BGAs, chips) and semiconductor devices. Designed for R&D, QA/QC and failure analysis, the series combines Xi microfocus X‑ray sources, an open‑tube design with replaceable filaments and integrated HV generator to reduce maintenance and operating costs.
Product Highlights- Automatic inspection: Inspect‑X interface and PCB Analysis Suite enable rapid setup of automated inspection programs with measurements and pass/fail reporting for BGA, bond wires, PTH and complex packages.
- Continuous protection: Automatic collision avoidance and Low Dose Collimator minimise X‑ray exposure during batch inspection; optional ESD Safety Upgrade protects sensitive semiconductor and electronic components.
- User‑friendly manipulator: Vertical configuration (X‑ray source below sample, tilting imager above), precise joystick control and intelligent motion keep the region of interest in view during 360° rotation.
Premium Data Quality- Xi microfocus X‑ray sources deliver sharp, stable images; Diamond Window improves contrast across the operating range.
- Open tube with replaceable filaments reduces long‑term running costs.
- High.Contrast Filter 2.0 enhances visibility of high‑ and low‑contrast details within a single image to accelerate defect identification.
Imaging & Inspection Features- Inspect‑X software provides operator‑focused workflows, advanced imaging and analysis tools optimised for electronics inspection.
- Automatic collision avoidance and intelligent motion control allow safe, precise scanning at extreme oblique angles.
- Optional ESD Safety Upgrade complies with industry ESD standards for handling sensitive devices during inspection.
