Photon counting x-ray CT

CMM

X-Ray Computed Tomography

High resolution, comparable with micro CT 50 μm voxel resolution standard

Can scan large objects not possible with conventional microCT systems
High-energy microfocus x-ray sources (10-150 kVp) allow inspection of very dense materials such as stainless steel and Inconel

‍

CdTe photon counting detectors (PCD)

Spectral x-ray material decomposition can identify/subtract materials e.g. copper in lightning strike protection for CFRP structures
High conversion efficiency and noise-free operation allows 33% lower kVp as compared with traditional “flat panel” detectors
High speed – up to 500 frames per second (15-25x faster than flat panels)
Metal artifact reduction

‍

Iterative, arbitrary path reconstruction algorithm

Unlimited possible scan geometries

Contactless Ultrasonic Testing

Contactless

No gel
No problem with curved parts, even tight curves
No damage/change to surface of part
Can measure porosity using resonance frequency of pores (only possible with Xarion due to their broadband microphone)

Broadband

No need for frequency-specific transducers,  instead post-process using digital filters (e.g. bandpass)
Easily analyze frequency-specific defects

Through-Transmission Ultrasound

10x spatial resolution vs. traditional contactless airgap UT
Fast scanning, up to 450 sq ft/hr

‍

Single Sided Inspection Head (SSIH or Pitch-Catch)

Can detect defects from only one side of the object when interior access is a problem

Can be operated as a Class 1 laser with a 0.8m barrier

‍

Small, portable system

Excitation laser from legacy laser UT systems was the size of a car and required significant laser protection

Backscatter X-ray

Backscatter X-ray offers single-sided quasi X-ray CT imaging, a capability that has no competing commercial system available. It can effectively detect air gaps less than 80 µm, including cases like delamination.

Laser Surface profiling

Surface profilometry provides a high-accuracy surface map, with precision within 25 μm. It is employed to guide the scan trajectory of other modalities.

Laser Shearography (Thermal)

The system is capable of imaging the strain field  to identify local weaknesses and defects, such as delaminations and kissing bonds.

Robotics/Cobots

The portable system features dual-arm geometric synchronization, offering the highest level of accuracy, and it does not require the use of fences or cages.
