[NDT] Cougar ECO: High-Performance 2D X-ray Inspection Technology at a Price That is Suitable for Your Business

 

What is Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)?

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the process of testing or analyzing materials, components, or welds to find defects or flaws within the material without causing damage or loss of its original properties, allowing the item to be safely used after testing. NDT utilizes physical principles such as light, X-rays or Gamma rays, magnetic fields, and high-frequency sound waves to evaluate the quality and integrity of a component. It helps increase confidence in quality, reduce production costs, and prevent future operational failures.

Cougar ECO: Cost-effective 2D NDT X-ray Inspection Technology for Your Investment.

Cougar ECO is the perfect entry solution for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). It is a compact yet powerful 2D X-ray system, ideal for various industries, including SMT, semiconductor, and laboratories, that require high-quality technology at a cost-effective price.

 

A Deep Dive into Capabilities: What Can the Cougar ECO Do?

The Cougar ECO was designed to break budget limitations, serving as an NDT tool that delivers high performance at an accessible price.

Outstanding Core Technologies

  • Cost-Effective With a design focused on essential 2D functions, the Cougar ECO is an affordable NDT machine, helping you control your budget without compromising on inspection quality.
  • High-Quality X-Ray Source: It uses Open microfocus tube technology that can detect details smaller than 1 micrometer (< 1 µm), revealing the smallest defects.
  • Sharp Image Processing System: Equipped with a Flat panel detector (Model Panel 1515) and a 16-bit image processing system, it produces sharp, detailed images and displays the first image quickly.
  • Comprehensive Inspection Angles: The system allows for inspection at an oblique angle of up to +/-70° (140° total), enabling a thorough analysis of defects in your Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) workflow.

Application Capabilities in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

  • SMT Inspection: Ideal for the non-destructive testing of printed circuit boards, including BGA, QFN, LGA, and THT components.
  • Semiconductor Inspection: Its high resolution makes it effective for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) processes to inspect the internal structures of semiconductor components like die-attach connections and 3D IC joints.
  • Laboratory Applications: An excellent Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) tool for analysis in research and development (R&D), such as inspecting the internal structures of batteries, connectors, and medical devices.
