Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) Market Summary

X-ray inspection technology, commonly referred to as Automated X-ray inspection or Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI), is a technique used to examine hidden features of target objects or products that use X-rays as a source. Generally, there are manual x-ray inspection and automated X-ray inspection, we only focus on the Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) market.

In the SMT industry, Automated X-ray inspection, or AXI, is a technology that uses X-rays to examine the features of a printed circuit board, semiconductor package, or power modules that are hidden from view and therefore cannot be captured by automated optical inspection (AOI), which uses visible light as its source.

X-ray inspection is also widely used in lots of applications such as medical, industrial control, and aerospace for control the quality of board assemblies and to analyze defects of hidden solder joints. X-ray has a unique advantage that is materials absorb X-rays proportional to their atomic weight and all materials absorb the X-ray radiation differently depending on their density, atomic number and thickness. Generally speaking, materials made of heavier elements absorb more X-rays and are easily imaged, while materials made of lighter elements are more transparent to X-rays.

At present, AXI technology has been widely used in product detection in lithium battery, semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, integrated circuit, electronic manufacturing, PCB, LED, die casting and other industries.

Market Drivers:

Increasing Demand for High-Quality and Reliable Electronics

Miniaturization of Electronics: As electronics continue to become smaller and more complex, traditional inspection methods are no longer sufficient. AXI can provide detailed images of micro-level defects such as voids, misalignments, and solder joint issues that would be difficult to detect visually, making it essential for ensuring product quality.

High-Performance Components: With the growing adoption of high-performance components like BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays), QFNs (Quad Flat No-leads), CSPs (Chip Scale Packages), and microelectronics, AXI technology is increasingly used to inspect these components for solder joint integrity, voiding, and bonding quality.

Growth of the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry

Semiconductor Packaging: With the demand for advanced semiconductors in smartphones, 5G networks, automotive, and other industries, semiconductor packaging has become more complex. AXI is essential for inspecting the integrity of wire bonds, solder joints, and packages, and ensuring the reliability of these components in critical applications.

Advanced PCB Assemblies: In the electronics sector, particularly for high-density interconnect (HDI) boards and flex PCBs, AXI provides the necessary inspection capabilities to ensure quality at every stage of assembly.

Demand for Higher Reliability in Automotive and Aerospace

Automotive Electronics: With the increasing integration of electronic systems in vehicles—especially in safety-critical areas like ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and electric vehicles (EVs)—AXI has become crucial in ensuring the reliability of automotive electronics. The high-precision inspection offered by AXI helps detect defects in the complex PCB assemblies, sensors, and powertrain components used in modern vehicles.

Aerospace and Defense: Similarly, aerospace and defense applications require the highest standards of reliability and performance. AXI systems are used to ensure that the electronic components used in critical systems, such as avionics and satellite communications, are free from internal defects that could cause failures.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Trends

Increased Focus on Quality and Safety: As industries face higher standards for product quality and safety (especially in critical sectors like aerospace, medical devices, and automotive), the demand for non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like AXI has grown. AXI allows manufacturers to detect hidden defects without damaging the components, making it a preferred method for quality assurance.

Regulatory Pressure: Regulatory bodies are imposing stricter requirements on product safety and reliability, especially in sectors like medical devices and aerospace. This creates a strong incentive for manufacturers to adopt AXI systems to comply with industry standards and ensure high-quality products.

Increasing Complexity of Products and Assemblies

Multi-Layer Assemblies: The increasing use of multi-layer and stacked components in PCBs, smartphones, and consumer electronics is driving the adoption of AXI. As components become more densely packed and interconnected, it becomes more difficult to inspect them thoroughly using traditional methods. AXI offers the ability to inspect layers within assemblies, helping to detect internal faults such as solder voids, cracked components, and misaligned parts.

3D and 2.5D Packaging: The adoption of 3D IC packaging and 2.5D packaging requires high-resolution, non-destructive inspection methods, which AXI systems are ideally suited to provide. The ability to inspect through multiple layers and view the internal structures of complex packaging is essential for manufacturers of these advanced packages.
