2D X-ray.

Royma's 2D X-ray systems inspect electronic assemblies, battery cells and flat parts in the production line, with automatic loading, automatic evaluation and a pass or fail result for every part. A 2D image is the fastest way to check what an assembly contains and where: missing screws and components, foreign metal, solder faults, the position of inserts and the alignment of the electrodes in a cell.

The RMLVX1850 inspects electronics at line speed with 3 µm spatial resolution and is programmed for the task from the board data; its sister system, the RMCLT1850, adds inline CT for cylindrical and button cells and scans several cells at once. The RMCT8000 loads long, flat parts up to 3500 × 600 mm, aligns them by camera and inspects them in one pass along automatic scan paths at 20 µm resolution.

Choose 2D X-ray when the part is thin or flat enough for a single projection to answer the question, and when cycle time is the deciding figure. Where the layers of a part overlay each other in a 2D image, a planar CT or an inline CT system separates them; the Planar CT and Inline CT families cover that case.
