Flexible inspection of very small to medium-sized parts

The Comet Yxlon FF35 CT, FF35 CT Metrology, and FF35 CT SEMI cover an extraordinary range of applications. Capabilities include improved material testing in the R&D department, optimization of process control and small series inspection as well as various scientific applications. The dual X-ray tube set-up enables the high-resolution CT system to significantly expand quality assurance and research possibilities in the automotive, electronics, aviation, and material science industries.

Proven technology: 225 kV micro-focus directional beam tube

With its high power of 320 W and water-cooled target, the 225 kV Comet Yxlon directional beam tube enables quick CT scans in less than a minute. In 2D operation, the tube reaches a spatial resolution of 4 μm. The possibility of switching between the micro-focus directional beam tube and the nano-focus transmission tube within a single inspection sequence substantially increases the application range.

The perfect addition: 190 kV nano-focus transmission tube

When it comes to part sizes of 10 mm and smaller, the 190 kV nano-focus transmission tube with its resolution in the submicron range is the right solution. It facilitates the high-resolution inspection of every kind of sample: While its water-cooled tube head allows for quick temperature balance and highest focal spot stability, four modes enable the optimal adjustment of the focal spot size in relation to power. Since both tubes have their own generator and HV cable, they can be switched without the need for reconfigurations.

Various trajectories for maximum flexibility

Graphic symbols and a wide range of automated functions enable the intuitive user interface Geminy to provide easy operation – independent of the operator’s skill level. At the same time, it offers a great number of features for flexibility regarding part sizes and inspection tasks including CT trajectories such as HeliExtend (helical CT scan and reconstruction method), a horizontal field-of-view extension, a virtual rotation axis, and standard Quick/QualityScan.
