X-ray inspection has long been a preferred way to obtain non-destructive quality data on manufactured parts. With the advent of digital X-ray systems, improved imaging capabilities, and more powerful computers, many manufacturers have come to rely on non-destructive X-ray test systems to make pass/fail decisions on individual parts. This is called Automatic Defect Recognition or ADR.

 

Within the realm of X-ray inspection for electronics there are a wide range of applications, so a single type of X-ray tube is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution. To address the demands of industries such as electronics manufacturing, better X-ray system manufacturers offer various non-destructive test solutions based on the power, kV and feature recognition capabilities electronics producers need.
