Viscom - iX7059 Heavy Duty Inspection
Fully Automated Inline X-ray System with Special Rapid Transport for Heavy Assemblies on Goods Carriers
The new iX7059 Heavy Duty Inspection X-ray system is part of Viscom’s brand-new iX series for fast, fully automated inline X-ray inspection. The company developed a special transport system for the handling of workpiece carriers and soldering frames to ensure that heavy and encased assemblies can be transported and inspected in optimized cycle times. This special system can transport assemblies with dimensions of up to 500 x 500 mm and a weight of up to 40 kg. As a result, automatic X-ray inspection is gaining a foothold in trending sectors such as electric mobility, network infrastructure for the 5G telecommunications standard and in the area of renewable energies.
In order to ensure 100% product quality in high current and high voltage electronics, the heat generated as a result of the high currents has to be dissipated in a reliable manner. Large cooling elements, massive wire solder joints and power components, for example, are used to this end. Insufficient solder joints or voids within the soldering area can cause overheating in this situation and put the functionality, safety, and efficiency of the system at risk. A fully automated inline X-ray inspection that can be flexibly deployed for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D analyses is the first choice for reliable inspection.
The iX7059 Heavy Duty inspection system impresses with a resolution extending from 8 μm to over 30 μm, depending on the configuration. The complex inspection objects are irradiated with 130 kV or optionally 160 kV. The broad inspection scopeof the inspection system extends to soldering defects, damage, twisted, missing, or incorrect components as well as concealed voids, blow holes/voids in surface solder joints and the degree of filling of THT solder joints.
The new “Evolution 5” image acquisition approach with the new T3 generation of flat panel detectors is used for highly accurate and fast 3D X-ray inspection. In combination with powerful computed tomography, all key defect features in sectional images are visualized in high detail to enable precise, convenient error detection. This simplifies verification, reduces false alarms, eliminates reworking and prevents product waste. Convenient operation of the system with the modern touchscreen monitor and fast, easy setup of inspection programs via the vVision or EasyPro operating software put the finishing touch on the system concept.
The compact, space-saving iX7059 Heavy Duty Inspection comes in a completely new system design that combines a distinctive style with high-quality materials and a robust housing. The system can also be seamlessly integrated into the production or final assembly line, and networking to implement smart factory concepts is also an option.

Feinmetall - TC77, Test Connectors for electrical contacting of H-MTD and MATEnet
The contacting of on-board networks and systems always brings new requirements for testing and contacting technology. For radio-frequency signals, some connectors have established on the market, for example the connector types H-MTD and MATEnet.
Contacting solutions for H-MTD and MATEnet
For tests with radio-frequency signals, a suitable high-quality and RF-optimized contact design is required. Feinmetall offers appropriate solutions for this application with the HF77 contact probe series. However, for simple electrical tests, more economical contacts are required as well.
Economical and simple electrical contacting
This is why Feinmetall has developed test connectors for this application, allowing reliable electrical contacting, combined with very simple and flexible mounting. The new test connectors of our TC77 series reliably contact the signal and ground pins. They are perfectly designed for this application with spring-loaded internal contact probes. The mounting can be realized by a flange and the connection of the test connector can either be done by a cable or soldered.
Compensation of tolerances
By providing a wobble function in the test connectors, certain tolerances in the positioning of the DUT can be compensated. Such a wobble function has already proven itself for the RF contact probes and has also been implemented in the test connectors.
Feinmetall offers comprehensive and economical solutions
With these test connectors, Feinmetall completes the contacting solutions for automotive technology and offers customers the most suitable and economical contacting solution for all applications.
The following versions are currently available
- MATEnet: TC77 MATEnet-M 01 LA S

Viscom - S3088 ultra chrome SPI
Ultimate quality thanks to early defect detection
Checking all the relevant points in the production process is essential, especially in terms of analyzing the causes of defects, fixing them, and – most importantly – preventing them in the future. That’s why solder paste printing is of fundamental importance for manufacturing complex assemblies: If paste printing isn’t performed correctly, the defect can impact the subsequent assembly and the soldering process, resulting in a tilted component or a poor or missing solder joint.
Optical inspection systems designed for solder paste inspection (SPI) quickly and reliably check the solder paste deposits on the circuit board. They measure the following defect features: surface, height profile, and volume. The measurement and image data from the SPI can be fed back to the solder paste printer (closed loop) and simultaneously transferred onto the automatic placement machine (closed forward loop) so it can adjust the placement position to the actual solder paste printing. Situations in which components are still assembled on the target position despite offset solder paste are critical because this results in a risk of a lifted lead without electrical contact or tombstoning. Solder paste defects such as offset paste, insufficient paste, or bridging are some of the typical defects that the SPI detects. This makes it possible to draw conclusions on improving cleaning cycles, correcting offsets, or even eliminating weak points in the PCB design.
Taking efficiency to the next level
Viscom’s 3D SPI systems work at maximum speed and precision to inspect the solder paste application even for the most demanding assemblies. All essential 3D defect features are recorded and checked, such as volume, height, and form as well as surface area, displacement, and paste smearing. Thanks to the Viscom Quality Uplink feature, inspection data from all inspection systems in the line is displayed at a glance at the verification station, allowing process analysis and optimization almost in real time.
