SMT Chip Mounting Precision Revolution: Technology Companies Lead the Trend of X-ray Inspection in the Electronics Manufacturing Industry.

In this passage, we want to discuss the application and innovation of X-ray inspection technology in the electronics manufacturing industry. In modern electronics manufacturing, the application of X-ray inspection technology has become a strategic choice for improving product quality and production efficiency. Nectec has taken this technology to new heights by updating its X-ray equipment. 

First, we want to discuss how X-ray inspection works and its advantages. X-ray inspection utilizes electromagnetic radiation to penetrate objects and generate images based on the absorption differences of materials with varying densities. High-density materials such as metals absorb more X-rays, while low-density materials absorb less, resulting in images with high contrast. This technology can reveal internal structures and defects at the micron level and is a core non-destructive testing method in the electronics manufacturing industry. Compared to traditional destructive testing, X-ray testing can perform comprehensive testing without damaging the product, thereby reducing material waste and production time. Research shows that this technology has reduced material waste by approximately 30% and production time by 20% in the electronics manufacturing industry. Nectec uses high-precision X-ray equipment to achieve a resolution of up to 5 microns, enabling it to accurately identify minute welding defects and internal cracks. Research has shown that high-precision X-ray inspection technology can reduce product defect rates to less than 0.5%. On the other hand, X-ray inspection is particularly important in precision manufacturing, especially for products with complex internal structures and precision components. According to a report published by a magazine in 2022, the global X-ray inspection market is expected to reach approximately US$3 billion by 2025, with precision manufacturing being one of the fastest-growing areas.

Second, we want to discuss some specific applications of X-ray inspection in the electronics manufacturing industry. For PCB inspection, in SMT assembly, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and ball grid arrays (BGAs) are key components. X-ray inspection technology can reveal soldering defects, voids, and bridging issues. According to a study, X-ray inspection has an accuracy rate of up to 98% in detecting soldering defects. For semiconductor inspection, X-ray inspection can penetrate high-density materials in semiconductor manufacturing to detect internal defects such as cracks and voids. According to data from a certain website, X-ray inspection can increase the yield rate of semiconductor products to over 99%. For battery inspection, the integrity of the internal lithium battery structure is critical. Therefore, X-ray inspection can identify battery defects such as internal short circuits and separator damage, reducing the failure rate by 30%. Nectec’s high-precision X-ray equipment provides accurate inspection services for the electronics manufacturing industry, covering consumer electronics, automotive, medical, and other fields.

Third, we want to discuss some industry trends and technological innovation. Firstly, the development of 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) has placed higher demands on the detection accuracy of the electronics manufacturing industry. According to a researcher’s prediction, by 2025, there will be 25 billion IoT devices worldwide, and X-ray detection will become a key technology. Secondly, the integration of X-ray detection with AI and big data has improved detection accuracy and efficiency through machine learning algorithms.

According to a 2019 study by a foreign academic institution, AI-enhanced X-ray inspection systems can achieve accuracy rates of over 95%. Next is equipment innovation and upgrading. According to data from a foreign website, the X-ray inspection market is expected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2020 to $3.5 billion by 2025. Nectec’s high-end X-ray inspection equipment can help improve inspection efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, X-ray detection technology is evolving toward low energy consumption. Nectec adopts environmentally friendly solutions to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. Finally, Nectec provides flexible technical support to offer customers customized X-ray detection solutions, ensuring product competitiveness in the market.
