See What's Really Going On

Datest’s 2D and Oblique X-ray inspection services give engineers a fast, nondestructive way to look inside assemblies, components, and electronic devices to find the defects causing problems. Using our Nordson Dage XD7600NT500 Ruby X-ray system, we inspect hidden solder joints, bond wires, internal traces, semiconductor packages, and other critical features that can’t be evaluated with visual inspection alone.
Whether you’re troubleshooting a field failure, validating a manufacturing process, or trying to understand why a product isn’t behaving as expected, X-ray inspection helps turn suspicion into evidence and questions into answers.
No guessing. No unnecessary destruction.
Just a clear view of what’s happening inside.

Somewhere in There, the Signal Stops

Broken Trace Wire

When the Connection Fails

Microscopic failures can bring an entire assembly down.
2D and oblique X-ray inspection make it possible to evaluate internal wire bonds, die attach conditions, and package integrity without destroying the component.

Perfect for:
• Broken or lifted bond wires
• Semiconductor package analysis
• Microelectronic failures
• Burned or damaged devices
• Process verification
• Root cause investigations

Finding the Break Nobody Can See

Sometimes the problem is hiding inside the board.
Using high-resolution 2D and oblique X-ray imaging, we can locate open circuits, broken traces, internal defects, and hidden manufacturing issues that traditional inspection methods miss.

Perfect for:
• Broken internal traces
• Open circuits and intermittent failures
• PCB defect analysis
• Hidden solder joint evaluation
• Manufacturing defect verification
• Failure analysis and troubleshooting

When Separate Connections Become One

Sometimes the defect is exactly what it looks like.

Standard 2D imaging quickly identifies solder bridges, shorts, and other manufacturing defects that impact electrical performance.

Looking Beyond the Surface

Sometimes the answer requires a different angle.

By adjusting the viewing perspective, we can evaluate plated through-holes, hidden joints, and internal damage that may not be obvious from a single view.
