https://productronica.com/en/ PRODUCTRONICA 2025 PREVIEW 19 Power Electronics Europe Issue 4 2025 Power Electronics Europe Scienscope is located in Hall A1 Stand No.151 Altus Group, a leading distributor of advanced electronics assembly equipment in the UK and Ireland, will be adding the Xspection 6600 to its inspection portfolio as its flagship Scienscope offering, supporting Scienscope as they unveil the system at Productronica 2025. The system’s advanced feature enables allow Altus to cater to applications that need a stronger penetration, larger magnification and a larger board size, representing a significant leap forward in non-destructive testing capabilities for high-density PCB and advanced package inspection. Designed for manufacturers requiring the highest levels of detail and reliability, the Xspection 6600 unit features a powerful 160 kV open X-ray tube with 1000 ?A current and a spot size down to 1 ?m, delivering exceptional imaging precision. With geometric magnification of 200x, a 65° tilt range, and a ?890 mm inspection table (circumference 2798 mm), the system provides comprehensive analysis capabilities across a wide range of board and component sizes. Joe Booth, CEO at Altus Group, said: “We have had a great history with Scienscope and have been very effective over the years with many installations locally. While most customer needs are met by the Xspection 3000 (a 110-130kV closed tube unit), the Xspection 6600 addresses a real need in the market for some customers for deeper, more accurate inspection of increasingly complex assemblies. The combination of high-power X-ray imaging and larger magnification gives our customers unprecedented insight into their products. We’re excited to see it showcased at Productronica and look forward to supporting its introduction to the UK and Irish markets.” To further enhance inspection performance, Scienscope has integrated selflearning AI software for faster interpretation, fewer false calls, and simplified programming. The enhanced BGA tool specifically reduces false alarms, while AI-driven image processing supports manufacturers looking to increase productivity and consistency in complex inspection tasks. The Xspection 6600 will make its debut at Productronica 2025 in Munich.

The company’s Manufacturing Operations Platform unites MES, connectivity, automation, analytics and AI to help manufacturers master complexity, accelerate decisions, and gain the trust and speed they need to compete. Visitors will see a live demonstration of the Factory of the Future in action. Data from a reflow oven will be connected, contextualised, and analysed to show how information flows seamlessly across machines, materials, and quality systems. By identifying correlations between process parameters and defect patterns the system is enabling prediction and prevention of quality issues. Users can interact with the data through an AI copilot, asking naturallanguage questions to reveal insights directly from production data. This demonstrates how manufacturers can move from digital transformation to intelligence transformation, where AI and automation turn insights into real-time decisions that optimise performance and prevent issues before they occur. “Electronics and Semiconductor manufacturing demands speed, precision, and the ability to learn at every stage of production,” said Pedro Oliveira, Industrial Solutions Engineer for Electronics/SMT at Critical Manufacturing. “We know today that AI is only as strong as the data behind it. At productronica, our visitors can explore how
