phoenix x|aminer:  X-ray Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) System

NDT- X-ray Testing Machine

The phoenix x|aminer is an easy to use entry level non-destructive testing (NDT) X-ray inspection system with strong performance that is designed for the special needs of the high-resolution inspection of electronic assemblies, components and PCBA. The system is equipped with an unlimited lifetime 160 kV / 20 W microfocus X-ray tube. Due to the high energy and power of the X-ray tube the phoenix x|aminer meets the requirements for electronic applications including power electronics. The system comes standard with the unique phoenix x|act base software solution. This software offers easiest use and allows manual as well as automatic inspection.
