What is FAB Series (production CT)?
FAB Series is a complete industrial CT solution for the shopfloor: hardware, automation, software and services. Ideal for non-destructive testing in production.
Are FAB Series CT systems “in-line”?
No, not today. FAB Series is a modular at-line/shopfloor solution, but its key building blocks (robotisation, real-time data feedback, typical cycles of around 1 minute including loading) lay the groundwork for in-line projects.
What are the benefits of using X-rays in production (quality, ROI)?
CT enables earlier detection of defects, stable quality, faster decisions, less scrap and 24/7 availability thanks to robust, automated CT workflows.
CT automation: what does FAB Series offer?
An end-to-end workflow (acquisition → reconstruction → analysis → report), internal loading and a robotised auto-loading module (up to 300 parts, 80 kg – 150 kg as an option), with night and weekend operation.
Maintenance and services around FAB Series?
Heavy Duty maintenance contract: SLA ≤ 2 h, dedicated spare-parts stock, corrective visits, annual preventive maintenance and data analyses to anticipate stoppages and maximise uptime.
Traceability & Industry 4.0 connectivity?
OPC UA connection to MES, supervision, IIoT and robotised cells, with automatic logging of production logs and events (scans, machine status, cycle times, errors) for end-to-end traceability and simplified audits.
Can an operator use the CT system?
Yes. Thanks to an uncluttered HMI with user roles, one-click workflows, a barcode reader and VisionAI for fast, objective and consistent OK/NOK decisions, the CT system is easily usable by a non-expert.
Which platforms are compatible with FAB Series and what part sizes?
Four platforms of the Explorer line: EasyTom S (150 kV, samples up to Ø300 × 410 mm and 5 kg), EasyTom L (225 kV, Ø685 × 1,080 mm and 80 kg), EasyTom XL (225 kV, Ø1,100 × 1,000 mm and 80 kg) and EasyTom B (225 kV, Ø1,100 × 2,000 mm and 100 kg).
What is the difference between FAB Series and Metrology Series?
FAB Series adapts a CT system to production inspection: automation, operator interface, factory connection. The Metrology Series adds dimensional measurement, with performance verified to VDI/VDE 2630. On the EasyTom S and L, both series are available.
