Computed Tomography

Waygate Technologies, a leader in non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions for industrial inspection, has announced it now offers a Mesofocus X-ray tube for optional integration with its Phoenix V|tome|x C450 computed tomography (CT) systems.

Traditional X-ray technology plays a key role in metrology and quality inspections in a wide range of manufacturing sectors – wherever there is a need to check the internal structures of components, pipes and vessels reliably and accurately.

Interdisciplinary researchers in Illinois, the U.S., and around the world are advancing their research projects with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology’s new ZEISS Xradia 630 Versa micro-CT scanner, the first of its kind with life science applications in the U.S.

Lumafield recently announced that it has joined forces with RFK Racing, becoming an official partner within the RFK TeK Alliance. With its industrial X-Ray CT inspection platform, engineers at RFK Racing are now well-equipped to achieve unparalleled precision and quality control in the fast-paced world of NASCAR.

Nikon Metrology, Inc, and Hyundai Motor North America have announced that Hyundai has purchased and installed Nikon’s X-ray computed tomography (CT) system. This represents a significant investment in the success of Hyundai’s newly opened $51.4 million Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory (STIL) in Superior Township, Michigan, USA.

CactuX has introduced new product line, In-situ BOX, designed to enhance CT analysis for research organizations and companies. This solution enables dynamic experiments, which are increasingly valuable for uncovering new insights into the behaviour of internal structures. Dynamic experiments allow observing changes in internal structures under specific conditions, such as mechanical or thermal loads, over a defined time.

New process to improve the inspection of metal parts based on the same technology used to expose art forgeries will be first to deploy through GE’s new STAC facility and will support GE Aerospace’s efforts to meet increased services demand and reduce industry supply chain constraints. 

For several years, the Mercedes-Benz vehicle safety division has been researching the use of X-ray technology in crash tests together with colleagues from EMI. The decisive factor for the breakthrough was the use of a linear accelerator with 1 kHz technology as the radiation source.
