Fully automated inspection without slowing production​

A sophisticated mechanical design rotates the X-ray source and the detector around the stationary sample, ensuring an optimal balance between image quality, measurement performance and scan speed. Combined with two robots that work alternately to handle the parts, the system produces reliable results at high throughput while simultaneously minimizing the risk of collisions or positioning variations.​
