Cogent Technology invests in Optical BGA Inspection

Ersascope 2-Plus

Cogent has taken delivery of a new ERSASCOPE 2 plus for inspection of BGA devices. The product was evolved by its manufacturer over a 3 year development period, utilising essential feedback from over 2000 worldwide users of the previous model.

Cogent's Managing Director, Nigel Slator, said on his new Investment: "Cogent is committed to investing in tools which allow us to verify our processes and ensure our customers constantly receive excellent product. We have used XRAY inspection alone up until now but this device allows us to gain a rapid and very clear perspective on the quality of our BGA joints"

Production Engineering Manager, Michael Charlesworth added the "ERSASCOPE 2 Sets itself apart from all other BGA optical systems. The manufacturing team is delighted to have the system at its disposal, maintaining process control at highest level. It's the only system in the world with an aperture height below 50 microns enabling visual inspection under such devices as CSP and Flip Chip"

"The ERSASCOPE 2 will help meet the needs of our customers and will, in particular, enhance the current Fast Track service. Cogent's Customers can now rest assured that fine pitch and BGA devices are being inspected using some of the best optical systems in the world; this is especially significant when they are validating new designs and need confidence that placement is correct as they concentrate on verifying the design integrity", says Sales Director, Robert Stainer, who can be contacted on 01394 445566.
