Sensor
The Big Beam Sensor has a large measurement area that provides versatility when measuring width and height of solid and opaque targets. The sensor's functionality is not affected by target surface color or reflectivity. The sensor uses a modulated laser source to back light the object being measured. The portion of this light that reaches the receiver (detector) is proportional to the dimension of the part, generating dimensional data output. A large beam height up to 30 millimeters ensures proper measurement for larger targets. Repeatability is better than 0.5% at 5 kilohertz and typical resolution is 0.003 millimeter of the measurement range. Measurement frequency is up to 5 kilohertz. The sensor has a simple, high-speed analog output. A sensor controller/amplifier also comes with the unit.LMI Technologies (USA) Inc.

Height gage
The Digimar CX2 family of digital height gages is a series of motorized, programmable height measuring systems suited for both gage lab and production measurement use. The fully motorized measuring slide minimizes operator influence on part probing for better precision and repeatability. Measuring and evaluation functions include the measurement of planes, grooves, bores and shafts, and the calculation of distances and symmetries. The measuring range includes 14, 24 and 40 inches.Mahr Federal Inc.

Software inspection modules
Both the qfp|module and the mlf|module are fully automated measurement solutions and eliminate the need for an operator to determine pass/fail criteria. With the release of new automation tools, both modules increase automated inspection capabilities and defect coverage beyond current standards for off-line X-ray equipment. The qfp|module covers all inspection criteria as detailed in the IPC-A-610C standard. The software detects, evaluates and indicates failed solder joints. Both modules can store the defect image and detected defects recorded to a local or network drive.phoenix|x-ray Systems + Services Inc.
