Cougar EVO   

The small footprint inspection system for the smart factory  

SMT inspections: grand performance for small devices 

Due to the continuous miniaturization of products, more and more components must fit in an ever-smaller area. For the most accurate and repeatable quality inspection results, a test system must not only provide high performance and resolution but also needs to be equipped with dynamic image enhancement filters. The Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO features: 

Large flat-panel detectors with up to 50% larger field of view for a better overview and faster working processes due to reduced steps in automated processes 

Best laminography with micro3Dslice, optimally suited for large PCBs, with detailed 3D visualization for quick and easy failure analysis – substantially cost-saving compared to micro sectioning 

Automatic void calculation with VoidInspect, the laminography workflow enabling the rapid non-destructive analysis of voids inside the solder joints of board components 

Integration in the production line: ProLoop (Link auf Video weiter unten) allows direct communication with inline AOI / AXI inspection 

Semicon inspections: maximum resolution at minimum voltage with Cougar EVO

Electronic components and semiconductor devices are the key elements of most electronic systems. Due to their compactness and density, testing requires maximal image resolution at low power and low voltage. Void compilations, including multi-area voiding, need accurate, repeatable inspection routines. The Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO offers: 

  • Highly sensitive detector with optional dose reduction 
  • High detail recognition through an integrated image chain 
  • Integrated, automatic error detection in FGUI (Bumps, voids) 

Laboratory inspections: leading technology for precise analysis 

The inspection of electronic components during research and development is highly complex and requires a broad range of features. Computed tomography with the Comet Yxlon Cougar EVO is the technology of choice for detailed analyses of micro components such as those used in batteries, connectors, and medical devices. 

Exceptional CT quality due to a range of highly sensitive detectors with an excellent contrast-to-noise ratio 

Realistic, vivid visualization by Comet Yxlon FF CT software, the integrated workflow in the FGUI user interface with individual 3D cinematic renderers, artifact reduction, and a preset selection of transfer functions (TF)
