The company will also showcase its iS6059 PCB Inspection Plus automated optical inspection system, along with AI-based software tools and digital services designed to manage inspection processes.

The iX7059 SMT Edition, an X-ray inspection system designed for integration into electronic manufacturing lines, combines X-ray imaging, 3D visualization of assemblies, and software functions for analyzing inspection results.
According to Viscom, the system is intended for applications requiring the inspection of complex electronic assemblies without compromising production times.
AXI inspection allows for the examination of internal features of assemblies that are not always accessible using optical inspection systems.
This capability is particularly relevant when electrical connections are hidden beneath component packages.
The manufacturer highlights image quality and 3D volumetric visualization as the key features of the new equipment.

Inspection of BGA Components and Hidden Solder Joints:
The iX7059 SMT Edition is specifically designed for inspecting assemblies with numerous BGA (Ball Grid Array) components and solder joints that are not directly visible from the outside.
In BGA packages, the joints are distributed by a solder ball array located beneath the component.
This arrangement makes visual verification of the joints after assembly difficult.
X-ray inspection allows for the analysis of internal structures and provides information about solder joints without disassembling the components.
Three-dimensional visualization can help differentiate features located at varying depths within the assembly.
Viscom presents this capability as one of the key applications of the new system.

Integration into SMT Manufacturing Lines:
The new system is designed to operate in electronic production environments with short cycle times and high manufacturing volumes.
Inline inspection allows quality control to be integrated into the production flow, eliminating the need to systematically move boards to separate inspection stations.
This architecture can facilitate the detection of issues during the manufacturing process and provide information for follow-up.
However, the performance of an installation depends on factors such as board complexity, the number of inspected areas, acceptance criteria, and system configuration.

In addition to the new X-ray system, Viscom will showcase the iS6059
PCB Inspection Plus
The system utilizes high-resolution camera and image acquisition technology to perform inspection tasks during manufacturing.
According to the company, the system is designed for flexible integration into electronic production lines.
Automated optical inspection allows for the verification of visible features of components and assemblies using image analysis techniques.
Meanwhile, X-ray inspection provides information on structures and connections that may be hidden from optical systems.
Both technologies can be used in a complementary way within a quality control strategy.

vAI ProVision: Artificial Intelligence for Scheduling Inspections.
Viscom will also present vAI ProVision, a software solution that uses artificial intelligence to assist in creating inspection programs.
The development is aimed at reducing the work required to configure inspection tasks for new electronic assemblies.
Scheduling is a crucial part of commissioning AOI and AXI systems, as it requires defining the features to be analyzed and the criteria used to evaluate the results.
According to Viscom, vAI ProVision is designed to automate some of these tasks and facilitate the transition from program preparation to production implementation.

AI Applications in the Inspection Process:
Viscom places artificial intelligence at different stages of the electronic quality control process.
These applications include the creation of inspection programs, image analysis, and results evaluation.
These functions can be used to automate certain repetitive tasks and facilitate the processing of information generated by inspection teams.
Integrating AI tools can also help streamline review and diagnostic processes.

vCONNECT for Digital Process and Service Management.
The company will complete its presence at the trade fair with vCONNECT, a software solution designed to centralize information and facilitate the management of manufacturing and inspection processes.
According to Viscom, vCONNECT improves access to relevant information and simplifies certain service operations.
The platform is also geared towards managing workflows related to inspection systems.
This functionality can be useful in facilities where it is necessary to coordinate different teams and consult operational or maintenance information.
