What is high-energy X-ray CT?
It is a non-destructive 3D imaging technique that uses high X-ray power to penetrate dense materials or thick-walled parts – where standard CT is no longer enough to obtain a usable image.
Which materials can be inspected at high energy?
Iron, aluminium, concrete, carbon, copper and gold are among the materials commonly analysed, as well as dense alloys such as Inconel or the superalloys used in aerospace.
What is the difference between the EasyTom L and the EasyTom B?
The EasyTom L covers a wide range of part sizes, from small components to assemblies of over a metre. The EasyTom B is its bunker version, designed for larger parts or for installation directly on site.
Do you have to choose between high energy and high resolution?
No – in a dual-generator configuration, a high-energy tube of up to 450 kV can be combined with a high-resolution microfocus generator on the same platform, to cover both the inspection of massive parts and the fine detection of defects down to 5 µm.
Which sectors use high-energy CT?
Automotive (batteries, braking, windings), aerospace (turbine blades, critical assemblies), foundry/metallurgy, additive manufacturing and medical (prostheses, new alloys) are the most common applications.
What types of defects can high-energy CT detect?
What if no standard CT platform matches my needs?
Our teams can design a
custom-made solution, from a simple adaptation of an existing platform to a design entirely dedicated to your application.
