Applications

What we inspect

From printed circuit boards to heritage objects, our digital X-ray capability supports a wide range of safe, stable items requiring non-destructive examination.

Electronics & PCB Inspection

Digital X-ray inspection for PCBs, PCB assemblies, BGA and QFN solder joints, potted electronics, power supplies, control modules and hidden internal defects.

  • BGA solder voiding
  • Bridging and misalignment
  • Internal component damage
  • Potted assembly inspection
  • Production quality assurance
  • Failure analysis support

Counterfeit Component Detection

Non-destructive X-ray imaging can help identify differences in internal component construction, die layout, bond wires and assembly features.

  • Suspect or grey-market components
  • High-reliability procurement checks
  • Incoming goods inspection
  • Comparative component review

Product Failure, Returns & Warranty Investigation

Understand what has happened inside a returned or failed product before dismantling it, refunding it, rejecting a claim or escalating the issue.

  • Returned consumer electronics
  • Hidden impact damage
  • Internal breakage
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Misuse indicators
  • Warranty claim evidence

Battery-Powered Products

X-ray inspection may support investigation of battery-powered products and assemblies where the item is safe and lawful to handle. Damaged, swollen, leaking, overheating or otherwise unstable batteries must not be posted and may require a pre-assessment or attended route.

  • Battery pack construction
  • Internal alignment
  • Product returns
  • Safety investigation support
  • Warranty assessment

Prototypes & R&D

Support product design and development by seeing internal construction without cutting, opening or destroying prototypes.

  • Prototype validation
  • Reverse engineering support
  • Internal assembly verification
  • Design improvement
  • Pre-production investigation

Mechanical Components & Small Assemblies

Inspection of small castings, machined parts, additive-manufactured components, valves, pumps and enclosed assemblies.

  • Voids and inclusions
  • Assembly checks
  • Internal structure
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Non-destructive investigation

Legal, Insurance & Forensic Support

Digital X-ray imaging and written reports for safe items involved in legal, insurance, claim, fraud, product liability or technical dispute cases.

  • Insurance claim evidence
  • Product liability support
  • Damage investigation
  • Sealed item examination
  • Evidence-grade image packs

Art, Artefacts & Heritage Objects

Non-invasive X-ray imaging for selected small heritage objects, ceramics, panels, artefacts and valuable items where internal construction or previous repair may be relevant.

  • Hidden repairs
  • Internal structures
  • Construction details
  • Condition assessment
  • Conservation support
