The SEC SF160FCT is a high-resolution micro-focus X-ray inspection system for semiconductor devices, PCB assemblies, and electronic components. Its 160 kV micro-focus open tube with 0.8–0.9 µm focal spot achieves magnifications up to 4,800x, enabling detection of micro-scale defects with exceptional clarity. The 6-axis manipulator (X, Y, Z, Tilt to 70°, R, Y-aft) permits imaging from virtually any angle. Dual flat-panel detector options—1.6M or 3.2M pixel—support 30 fps acquisition across a 153 × 204 mm active area. The system delivers both 2D and 3D Computed Tomography via oblique and cone-beam methods, with 3D reconstruction matrices up to 2048³ and sub-10-second reconstruction times using the Feldkamp algorithm.
