X-Ray inspection is becoming a necessity within the industry especially with more and more lead-free processing. X-Ray inspection can provide valuable control feedback on various aspects of the Wave Solder process including void measurements, consistency of solder joint shapes and sizes, incorrect placement of components, or problems with solder paste printing. X-ray fixtures or X-ray pallets support and prevent sagging of the PCB through automated X-ray inspection. Datum Dynamics designs and manufactures fixtures for a variety of inspection machines, the most popular being the HP 5DX.
