At Astom, we have introduced an "X-ray inspection system" for inspecting components that are not visible from the surface of bottom electrode products such as BGA/CSP. We have established a system that detects foreign matter and product defects using advanced image processing technology, ensuring the delivery of safe and secure products of high quality. ~Details of Inspection Equipment~ User-friendly micro-focus X-ray inspection system Safe structure with leakage radiation levels below 1 microsievert. The XY table can be automatically controlled for positioning, and the teaching function makes repetitive tasks easy. The X-ray irradiation angle can swing up to 60 degrees forward and backward and 30 degrees left and right (L-type). With the standard analysis software, dimension measurement and 3D display (L/D type) are possible. A manipulator allows for 360-degree observation of small components. The D-type, using a digital I.I. tube, provides clearer images. For challenges and concerns related to such substrates, Astom, with over 20 years of experience, offers various solutions.

Electronic components on circuit boards that dislike moisture and dust. Circuit boards and mounted components used in electrical products may cause short circuits, disconnections, and current leakage due to moisture, corrosion, and oxidation in harsh environments. A highly effective method for protecting electronic components from atmospheric elements is "circuit board coating," which uniformly covers them with moisture-proof insulating materials. Not only does the film coating protect the circuit board, but it also has a fast application speed, making it suitable for mass production. By protecting the surface of the circuit board from dust, dirt, and water, it helps prevent equipment failures, contributing to long-term cost benefits and quality improvement. For challenges and concerns related to such circuit boards, Astom, with over 20 years of experience, offers various solutions. Please feel free to consult us regarding any issues related to mounted circuit boards. *For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Electronic components on circuit boards that dislike moisture and dust. Circuit boards and mounted components used in electrical products can potentially cause short circuits, disconnections, and current leakage due to moisture, corrosion, and oxidation in harsh environments. A highly effective method for protecting electronic components from atmospheric components is 'board coating,' which uniformly covers with moisture-proof insulating material. By using a film coat and a two-needle nozzle, it is possible to apply the coating to fine structures and details. This protects the surface of the circuit board from dust, dirt, and water, preventing equipment failure. In this way, Astom, with over 20 years of experience, offers various solutions to challenges and concerns related to circuit boards.

The challenge with implementation boards is the reduced lifespan due to various environmental factors. - Damage from vibration and impact - Accumulation of water droplets, dust, and dirt In response to the above, we recommend "resin potting" for enhancing the water resistance, seismic resistance, and longevity of the boards. By injecting urethane resin into cases, dust, dirt, and water can be completely shut out. Additionally, since the board is fixed by the resin, it can also be protected from vibrations. **Benefits of Resin Potting:** - No worries about dust or dirt adhering to the board - Excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties - Strong against vibrations and impacts as the case can be filled and fixed with resin - Can extend the component replacement cycle, proving effective for products aimed at overseas markets In this way, Astom, with over 20 years of experience, offers various solutions to the challenges and concerns related to boards. Please feel free to consult us regarding any issues related to implementation boards.

Resistance to "environmental changes" such as temperature and humidity, which is important in the manufacturing process of electronic components. Do you have any concerns in your inspection process like these? - Lack of equipment to address the issue - Need to conduct evaluation tests based on product and component requirements - Have the equipment but lack time and want to outsource At Astom, we can quickly evaluate resistance to temperature changes by repeatedly applying high and low temperature differences. Components made from different materials may experience stress due to differences in their coefficients of thermal expansion, which can lead to cracks or damage due to temperature changes. Thermal shock testing evaluates products exposed to rapid temperature differences, such as moving from indoors to outdoors, by repeatedly subjecting them to these temperature changes, ensuring high-quality supply. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
