The Scienscope Xspection 3000 is a high-resolution circuit board X-ray machine designed for accurate defect detection and quality assurance in SMT manufacturing. Using a single closed tube and advanced flat panel detector, it delivers clear, detailed images for PCB X-ray inspection, including solder joint analysis and BGA void inspection.
Available in two versions, the Standard model offers a 100kV, 5µm X-ray source, while the Premium version features a more powerful 130kV tube, larger detector, and finer pixel size for improved visibility in dense or multilayer boards.
Software tools include CNC programmable inspection, fiducial recognition, void percentage calculation, and BGA measurement core functions expected in modern PCB X-ray inspection machines. Optional barcode input, offline programming, and repair station capabilities further expand inspection efficiency.
Compact, lead-shielded, and Windows 11 ready, the Xspection 3000 is ideal for batch inspection, high-mix builds, and electronics manufacturers needing reliable, non-inline X-ray analysis.

The Xspection 3000 comes in two main variants: Standard (100 kV) and Premium (130 kV) closed tube micro-focus X-ray sources. The Premium version gives more power and better penetration for denser or more complex assemblies
It supports PCBs up to 650 x 500 mm (≈ 25″ x 20″) in X and Y axes.
The system offers spot sizes down to 5 µm. Pixel sizes / detector resolution depend on the variant: ~85 µm pixel size for the standard, and ~49 µm for the Premium model.
Yes — standard tilt is up to 45°, with an optional tilt up to 70°. Also, a 360° rotating stage/table is optionally available for more flexible viewing angles.
Key software features include:
Xray inspection system precision suited for detecting internal defects not visible in optical inspection, including:
