What the Explorer line allows you to do

Watch – 230 kV – 60 µm

See what other methods cannot reveal

Access the complete internal structure of your parts without destroying them.

Detect porosities, cracks, inclusions, assembly defects or internal features that are invisible with conventional methods, then analyse their size, location and impact precisely. Turn your inspection data into usable information to better understand your products, your materials and your processes.

Improve the quality of your products

Inspect the entire volume of your parts rather than just a surface.

Identify critical defects faster, make your validations more reliable and limit the risk of non-conformity before it affects production or your customers. Better visibility inside your products allows you to make quality decisions with greater confidence.

Automotive part – steel welds – 150 kV – 28 µm

Accelerate innovation and decision-making

Analyse your prototypes non-destructively, quickly compare different designs and obtain usable 3D data for your R&D, expertise or quality control projects. Identify the origin of a defect faster, reduce validation lead times and base your technical decisions on visual evidence that everyone involved in the project can understand.

Protect your investment

From materials analysis to quality control, from expertise to CT metrology, a single platform meets a wide variety of applications.

Shared between several teams or projects, it optimises return on investment while remaining scalable thanks to hardware, software, automation or artificial intelligence upgrades.

FAQ: micro-tomography

What is the difference between Explorer, Nano and Force?

The Explorer, Nano and Force lines meet different needs in industrial CT. Explorer is the most versatile line. It covers the majority of industrial and scientific applications, from materials analysis to quality control, expertise and metrology. It is generally the best choice to meet around 80% of CT needs with a single platform. Nano is intended for applications requiring an extreme level of detail. With resolutions reaching the submicron scale, it makes it possible to observe microstructures, fine porosities, interfaces or phenomena that are invisible with conventional micro-tomography. Force is designed for applications requiring strong X-ray penetration. It makes it possible to inspect thick metal parts, highly absorbing materials or large components thanks to its high energy of up to 450 kV.

In short:

Explorer – versatility for the majority of CT applications.
Nano – submicron resolution to see more detail.
Force – high energy to pass through the densest materials. If you are unsure between several lines, our experts can guide you according to the size of your parts, the materials to be inspected and the level of detail required.
