Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO

With its compact dimensions, the Cougar EVO is the perfect choice for X-ray inspection in SMT, the semiconductor industry, and laboratories. Designed as a solution for facilities with space limitations, it combines minimum size and maximum performance. The weight of the Cougar EVO makes it suitable for many standard building floors. In addition, its size and weight make bringing the system into the location quick and hassle-free. In many cases, the existing elevators can be used for transport.

Optimised automated X-ray and CT quality inspections

Cougar EVO responds to the need for improved, automated operation with integrated workflows in the FGUI operating software. The Comet Yxlon FF CT software is designed to start automatically for faster reconstruction and visualization. Due to its unique ability to render 3D cinematic images with a preset selection of transfer functions (TF), the software produces the most realistic, vivid visualization available today.

Due to the continuous miniaturization of products, more and more components must fit in an ever-smaller area. For the most accurate and repeatable quality inspection results, a test system must not only provide high performance and resolution but also needs to be equipped with dynamic image enhancement filters. The Comet Yxlon
Cougar EVO features:

• Large flat-panel detectors with up to 50% larger field of view for a better overview and faster working processes due to reduced steps in automated processes
• Best laminography with micro3Dslice, optimally suited for large PCBs, with detailed 3D visualization for quick and easy failure analysis – substantially cost-saving compared to micro sectioning
• Automatic void calculation with VoidInspect, the laminography workflow enabling the rapid non-destructive analysis of voids inside the solder joints of board components
• Integration in the production line: ProLoop (Link auf Video weiter unten) allows direct communication with inline AOI / AXI inspection

Electronic components and semiconductor devices are the key elements of most electronic systems. Due to their compactness and density, testing requires maximal image resolution at low power and low voltage. Void compilations, including multi-area voiding, need accurate, repeatable inspection routines. The Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO offers:

• Highly sensitive detector with optional dose reduction
• High detail recognition through an integrated image chain
• Integrated, automatic error detection in FGUI (Bumps, voids)

The inspection of electronic components during research and development is highly complex and requires a broad range of features. Computed tomography with the Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO is the technology of choice for detailed analyses of micro components such as those used in batteries, connectors, and medical devices.

Exceptional CT quality due to a range of highly sensitive detectors with an excellent contrast-to-noise ratio
