With over 1,500 installations, Glenbrook Technologies X-Ray Inspection Systems are used by Government, Military and Industry technicians, worldwide. Glenbrook has developed the MXRA real-time x-ray imaging camera with resolution and sensitivity unmatched in the world today. The MXRA camera performs, in effect, as an x-ray microscope. It’s development resulting from the combined, in-depth knowledge of x-ray phosphors and night vision technologies. The camera’s electro-optical control can be directed to variably magnify x-ray detail up to 40 times on a video monitor. What does this mean to the user? Most importantly it means that Glenbrook systems can magnify details up to 40 times without having to move the object towards the x-ray source, a common method of magnification referred to as “geometric magnification”. Geometric magnification requires costly micro-focus x-ray tubes while MXRA magnification technology does not. This unique capability results in a high resolution x-ray inspection system that is more compact and lower in cost. |

| Variable Angle Viewing (VAV) Option for RTX Series X-Ray Inspection Systems |
|
Certain process defects, such as non-wetting and non-contact in solder joints on the underside of BGA components, have proven difficult to observe using straight-on X-ray images. Glenbrook resolves the difficulty, with Variable Angle Viewing (VAV). Instead of using a cumbersome mechanism in an oversized cabinet to rotate a BGA assembly for oblique viewing, Glenbrook’s creative engineers asked: why not rotate the X-ray source, instead of the assembly? VAV rotates the X-ray source on its axis for oblique viewing. VAV allows you to inspect for the full range of hidden BGA defects — missing or misregistered solder spheres, opens, misalignments, gross solder voids and non-wetting or non-contact. And Variable Angle Viewing fits neatly within the compact enclosures of Glenbrook’s RTX Series real-time X-ray inspection systems, as well as comfortably in your budget.
