X-Ray Inspection Systems Operator & Technician Training

Offered by Pertecnica Engineering

X-Ray Inspection Systems are advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) machines used in electronics and precision manufacturing to inspect internal structures of components without disassembly. These systems are widely used in PCB assembly to detect hidden defects such as solder voids, BGA (Ball Grid Array) joint issues, misalignments, and internal cracks. By using high-resolution imaging, X-ray systems ensure product reliability and quality in complex electronic assemblies.

In modern electronics manufacturing, X-ray inspection plays a critical role in quality assurance, especially for high-density and miniaturized components where visual inspection is not sufficient. Skilled operators and technicians are essential to manage imaging parameters, interpret results, and maintain system performance. This training program focuses on practical, hands-on learning to equip participants with industry-ready skills in X-ray inspection operations.
