V. J. ElectroniX purchases Teradyne's manual x-ray business

APRIL 9--V. J. ElectroniX (Bohemia, NY; www.vjelectronix.com), a division of V.J. Technologies Inc. and a manufacturer of x-ray inspection systems, has acquired Teradyne's manual x-ray inspection systems business, part of the former NIS business, and the SRT rework systems business. The manual x-ray business offers manual and semi-automated x-ray inspection systems. The SRT business manufactures semi-automated and automated rework stations suited for mBGA, CSP, and Flip-Chip component technologies.

All current clients of NIS manual x-ray products and SRT rework products will be serviced and maintained by V.J. ElectroniX customer support operations, following a brief transition from Teradyne. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
