YXLON International X-ray inspection helps the electronics, aerospace and medical industries meet the demand for greater miniaturization while achieving better yield, reliability and performance at lower cost. In particular, these industries benefit greatly from inspection of their hidden interconnects using microfocus X-ray technology. Particularly X-ray based microfocus Computed Tomography (µCT) allows the precise analysis of inner structures by virtually cross-sectioning the part without destruction. YXLON offers microfocus X-ray Solutions for manually and automatically monitoring of the production line and manual and semi-automatic microfocus Computed Tomography (µCT) inspection systems for rework and repair, R&D, quality assurance, process control and failure analysis.

Rigid Flex circuits give you a unique tool to bring your innovative packaging ideas to market, and to separate your products from the crowd. Rigid Flex gives you the ability to design your circuitry to fit the device, rather than building the device to fit the circuit board. The standard dielectric in flexible circuits is .001 - .002” making it a natural for ultra thin - ultra light – packaging. Adhesiveless laminates, HDI and thin copper layers make it ideal for fine line technology, giving you the smallest – thinnest – lightest solution for your circuit designs. Rigid Flex circuits are designed for the rigors of aerospace, medical and military applications, for the ultimate reliability. Flex assemblies also reduce connectors, and the labor, yield, transmission, and reliability issues that are inherent in their application.
