Plexus chooses Agilent AXI system
-- Test & Measurement World, 2/5/2008 8:07:00 AM
Agilent Technologies and Plexus have announced that Plexus, a global electronic manufacturing services provider, has selected the Agilent Medalist x6000 automated 3-D x-ray inspection system as part of its test-and-inspection strategy for new products.
"The addition of 3-D x-ray completes our portfolio of production test and inspection equipment," said Gary Simpson, engineering and manufacturing manager at Plexus. "This enhancement to our existing 2-D x-ray capability provides the automated solution we need to serve our customers. Demands for high reliability with long MTBF rates in medical and high-end industrial markets drive ever-tighter process control and inspection strategies. Agilent's X6000 will enhance our overall capability in both areas and allow efficient volume processing," he added.
The Agilent x6000 finds defects in solder joints and achieves more than 90% defect coverage while meeting or exceeding line beat rates, Agilent reported.
"Electronic products across various industries are becoming increasingly complex, and at the same time, customers throughout the entire product supply chain are demanding higher quality," said Jim Benson, product manager of Agilent's measurement systems division. "These challenges are driving manufacturers to seek better test and inspection solutions that can deliver the level of defect coverage necessary to ensure that only reliable and defect-free products are shipped."
