Comet Yxlon|CC Series — Electronics X-ray & Laminography

Cougar EVO

Compact micro-focus X-ray and CT system for SMT, semiconductor and lab inspection on about one square metre of floor space.

Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO
Overview

About the Cougar EVO

The Cougar EVO is the compact CC-series system: it brings 2D, oblique 2.5D, laminography and CT inspection of electronics onto a footprint of about one square metre (1000 × 1050 mm). Its 1450 kg weight suits many standard building floors and, in many cases, the system can be moved in existing lifts.

It shares the FeinFocus FXT-160.50 / FXT-160.51 tubes (20–160 kV), flat-panel detector options and ±70° oblique viewing of the Cheetah EVO, with a 440 × 550 mm sample size and 310 × 310 mm radioscopic area.

FGUI workflows include VoidInspect automatic void calculation, eHDR image enhancement, a dose-reduction kit with low-dose detector mode, the Comet Yxlon FF CT reconstruction software and ProLoop for direct communication with inline AOI/AXI systems. Dragonfly 3D View and Dragonfly 3D World are available for visualisation and analysis.
