Ultra-Fast CT Provides Factory Floor Inspections In Seconds
Lumafield has announced the launch of its Ultra-Fast CT technology, a groundbreaking advancement in manufacturing that reduces inspection time by more than 99%. In as little as 0.1 seconds, Lumafield’s industrial X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanners can capture high-resolution internal scans of products ranging from batteries to consumer packaged goods, optical assemblies, medical devices, and more.
Industrial CT produces the most insightful data in manufacturing, but slow scan speed and high capital equipment costs have prevented widespread adoption at production volumes. Lumafield’s Ultra-Fast CT technology speeds CT inspection by more than 100x, making it practical for high-volume manufacturing.
Ultra-Fast CT is the latest addition to Lumafield’s unified industrial CT platform, which includes Voyager, the company’s cloud-based software for analyzing industrial CT scans, the office-friendly Neptune scanner, and the automated, line-ready Triton inspection solution. This combination of hardware and software gives engineers unprecedented insight into their products at every stage of the development process, from initial R&D through high-volume production.
Ultra-Fast CT is valuable in a wide range of industries, but its first applications will be in battery inspection, where electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy adoption is challenged by the risk of battery failures that can lead to poor performance, catastrophic fires, and costly recalls. As demand for renewable energy surges, the pressure to ensure flawless battery production across all formats and chemistries is greater than ever. However, traditional inspection methods are not fast or precise enough to catch every issue.
Lumafield’s Ultra-Fast CT technology breaks that barrier by offering the fastest scanning on the market, enabling manufacturers to inspect battery cells with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This breakthrough allows for real-time quality control, significantly reducing the risk of defects and accelerating the safe, reliable deployment of EVs and renewable energy solutions.
