OMRON: How to Achieve Next-Level Clarity for Complex GenAI Server Boards

January 29, 2026
Discover Why 3D CT X-Ray Is a Game Changer for AI Hardware Quality Inspection
Generative AI is everywhere, from writing your emails to generating art and code. But the real magic happens on server boards so densely packed, even the best engineers can’t see all the connections. As these boards get more complex, traditional inspection methods just can’t keep up.
Why GenAI Boards Are a Quality Nightmare
- Densely Packed Components: Think skyscrapers on a postage stamp.
- Zero Room for Error: One escape can cost an assembly line millions.
- Hidden Connections: Press-fit pins, through-hole leads, and fine-pitch BGAs are buried under heatsinks and shields.
Forget 2D X-Ray systems, today’s GenAI boards need full 3D CT results, like those from OMRON’s VT-X750, to catch what the naked eye (and other X-Ray technologies) miss.

What Makes 3D CT X-Ray a Game Changer?
- See Every Layer: Volumetric scans reveal hidden joints and solder connections.
- Automated, Repeatable Results: Advanced algorithms spot defects and measure quality, with no guesswork.
- Custom Recipes: Tweak settings for each component, from massive BGAs to delicate chiplets.

Real-World Challenges, Real-World Solutions
- Press-Fit Connectors: 3D CT finds misaligned or damaged pins that 2D scans miss.
- Through-Hole Components: Only a full-barrel scan ensures proper solder fill and lead insertion.
- Fine-Pitch BGAs & Chiplets: High-res slices and smart software catch defects, even under thick metal shields.
- Stacked Packages: Adjustable focus and multiple angles guarantee every solder joint is checked.
Pro Tips for Flawless Inspection
- Use high-voltage X-Ray and multiple angles for tough spots.
- Let automation do the heavy lifting for speed and accuracy.
- Leverage different imaging parameters to further optimize results
- Rely on high-quality results and sophisticated algorithms
The Bottom Line: Don’t Let Defects Hide
As GenAI hardware gets more advanced, only 3D CT X-Ray inspection can keep up with the pace and complexity. OMRON’s VT-X750 is built for this challenge, delivering fast, reliable, and crystal-clear results for increasingly demanding AI hardware.
