Nordson is the market leading provider of award winning X-ray inspection systems that help customers detect manufacturing defects early - ensuring product quality, maximizing return on investment and reducing long term costs.

Quadra™ series X-ray inspection takes you beyond optical imaging, allowing you to non- destructively inspect obscured areas inside devices and components at up to 68,000 times magnification.

Quadra™ creates unbeatable images, making it easy to see even the tiniest detail and find defects quickly. The in-house designed high performance X-ray tube and detector allows feature recognition down to 100nm and magnification up to 68,000 times.

Unique patented technology

QuadraNT™, Nordson DAGE’s latest generation
X-ray source is 10 times brighter and intrinsically
more stable than conventional X-ray tubes. It utilises a LaB6 emitter instead of a traditional tungsten filament, and an ion pump to maintain a higher quality vacuum. QuadraNT opens up a world of stable, high resolution images at all power levels.

Unbeatable resolution

The AspireTM Flat Panel detector from Nordson DAGE makes it easy to see even the smallest defects. Aspire FP combines 16 bit contrast with 6.7 megapixel resolution to produce images of unrivaled quality.

Bring out the finest details

Over 30 advanced filters bring out the sharpest images and show the finest details, allowing you to find features and defects faster.

HDR Imaging increases the dynamic range so defects in both dark and light areas can be seen clearly on one image.

The complete picture

Understand your sample in 3D at high times magnification utilizing the μCT sample stage with computed tomography (CT).
Watch solder reflow in real time with the heated stage accessory.

X-ray inspection should be as easy and intuitive to use as possible. Quadra enables operators and occasional users to get incredible X-ray images quickly, easily and with minimal training.

Ease of use

Get working quickly with GensysTM proprietary control and measurement software which features an intuitive “point and click” user interface.

Measuring the invisible with X-Plane®

Image slices allow hard to see defects such as interfacial voids to be found and measured easily. Only X-Plane generates CT image cross sections quickly and easily, anywhere on the sample tray without having to manually align.

Ergonomically designed

Comfortable to use for prolonged periods without fatigue, Quadra is designed to SEMI S8 standards for ergonomics.

Compliance

Inbuilt tools for dimension measurement, BGA void analysis, bump diameter and roundness, wire sweep analysis and through hole filling make quick work of finding and characterizing defects, helping you achieve IPC-A-610 and IPC-7095 compliance.

Increase your return on investment, reduce your downtime and costs. QuadraTM is the only maintenance free inspection system. Regular preventative maintenance visits are no longer required to guarantee optimum X-ray performance.

Unique, patented technology

Traditional transmission X-ray tubes use tungsten filaments which degrade quickly and require regular replacement and maintenance. QuadraNTTM tubes use proprietary filament free technology for continuous service.

Lifetime repeatability

Stable performance is guaranteed since the filament is never changed. Inspection imagery is clear and repeatable, today, tomorrow and year after year.

Oil free

Eliminate the risks of oil contamination in the X-ray tube, oil spills or leaks into the work environment. QuadraNT uses an oil free ion pump to maintain X-ray tube vacuum which never requires an oil change.

Applications and training support

Technical applications, training and software support tailored to your specific requirements ensure you get the most from your Quadra
