Abstract: An automatic x-ray inspection system and method for inspecting objects, containing a cabinet, a path for an object to roll within the cabinet, from an entry point to an exit point, wherein the path utilizes gravity to alter the position and orientation of the object as it travels along the path, an x-ray imaging system to image the object along the path within the cabinet, wherein the x-ray imaging system has a field of view that captures views of the object along the object's travel, and a computer algorithm to determine a thickness of at least one of a shell and center of the object, wherein if a uniform thickness is determined, the object is tagged as passed or non-passed.

Abstract: A method for mitigating parallax for component reels being x-ray inspected, containing an x-ray inspection system and a plurality of reels circularly arranged in a conical field of view of an x-ray source of the x-ray inspection system, wherein a reels' inner edge is disposed higher than a reels' outer edge, wherein a plane of a reel is substantially parallel to a ray distances from the x-ray source.

Abstract: A reel-like format for transporting devices under test (DUT) into low power x-ray inspection system allows for high speed transportation and inspection that is several orders of magnitude faster than conventional systems. The system can be configured with a conveyor belt for handling of non-reel suitable DUTs. A stabilizing control mechanism precisely and accurately brings the tape (with components) into the x-raying window, that allows spatial displacement of a portion of the to-be-viewed tape.
