OMRON Launches VT-X950 3D-AXI Automated X-Ray Inspection System

OMRON has announced the launch of the VT-X950, the latest model in its lineup of CT-type automatic X-ray inspection systems. The VT-X950 joins the VT-X750-XL and VT-X850, expanding OMRON’s offerings of high-speed 3D inspection systems.

These systems are designed to meet the increasingly complex demands of semiconductor manufacturing and other advanced industries. The VT-X950 stands out as the first model in the VT series specifically designed to support clean rooms, making it ideal for mid-process semiconductor environments, such as wafer-to-wafer bonding processes.

With the expansion of generative AI, data centers, and 5G/6G communications, semiconductor miniaturization has reached new levels of complexity. The shift towards 3D packaging and integrated EV modules, particularly in the automotive industry, demands more precise inspections that traditional 2D-X-ray systems can't meet. OMRON's VT Series addresses these challenges with advanced 3D inspection technology. 

The VT-X950 is equipped with a feature that automatically changes inspection settings to accommodate sudden changes in production items due to fluctuating demand. By referencing measurement points and inspection settings registered in advance in the production control system, the system automatically adjusts to the appropriate conditions for each production item. This reduces start-up losses and the need to manually reset inspection settings.

In addition, the VT-X950 includes a conveyor-based automatic loading and unloading function, contributing to automation and manpower savings in the manufacturing process. The VT-X950 features technology that captures stereoscopic images without stopping, ensuring continuous inspection. This is particularly beneficial in high-volume production environments. Additionally, it supports the inspection of bump electrodes formed with a narrow pitch to bond IC devices together. The system also leverages AI technology and deep learning to process captured images, ensuring accurate identification of defective products.
