Phoenix V|tome|x S 240
Advances in inspection technology have yielded a highly versatile high-resolution system for 2D X-ray inspection and 3D computed tomography (microCT and nanoCT®) and 3D metrology. CT scanning of smaller assets is now more efficient than ever thanks to up to two times faster microCT scans and doubled resolution.
The Phoenix V|tome|x S 240 is one of the few CT systems worldwide combining the highly efficient Dynamic 41 detector technology and High-flux|target — enabling high image quality as it scans much faster, or with improved accuracy, and truly revolutionizing inspection.
Whether you need to increase speed, detection detail, or do both, the Phoenix V|tome|x S240 Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business, can be formatted for any 3D industrial or scientific microCT task. This CT scanner is ideally suited to meet inspection challenges in the electronics, R&D, scientific, and automotive industries.
To allow high flexibility, the V|tome|x S240 may optionally be equipped with both, a 180 kV/20 W high-power nanofocus X-ray tube and a 240 kV/320 W microfocus X-ray tube. Due to this unique combination, the system is an ideal tool for a wide range of applications from extreme high resolution nanoCT scans of low absorbing materials with best detail detactabilty of 0.2 micrometer as well as for 3D analysis of higher absorbing objects of up to 15 kg weight and 500 mm in diameter with microCT.

The patented High-flux|target makes CT scanning more efficient due to up to two times faster CT scans or doubled resolution. Review results faster than ever thanks to Accelerated 3D CT reconstruction by Velo|CT and automated generation of first article inspection reports available in one hour or even less.
With its 5-axes manipulation for 2D and 3D inspection of samples up to 10 kg and up to 500 mm in diameter, the Phoenix V|tome|x S is a compact allround system, especially in its optional Dual|tube configuration, combining the submicron detail detactability of the 180 kV nanofocus X-ray tube with the inspection power of the 240 kV microfocus tube. Fast and easy tube exchange just by a push of a button.
The 3D Measurement package powers reliable precision results while simplified software and fully automated execution of CT scan, reconstruction and analysis process makes capturing and reproducing high-quality inspection images easier than ever.
Proprietary machine learning (ML) based algorithms deliver exceptional Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) across various flaws for e.g. battery anode overhang analysis or typical casting defects. Our AI and data science based ADR library yields greater accuracy and enhanced ease of use compared to conventional ADR approaches, eliminating the need for expert parameterization skills.
Waygate Technologies offers X|approver, the next level and premium ADR platform consisting of the full and intuitive workflow management as well as a comprehensive ADR library running in the background of your production delivering automatic decision making. On top of it reporting functions are provided to see potential negative trends in production at a glance. Any authorized operator can parametrize scanned samples (e.g. for highly accurate overhang issue detection), and the algorithms get more accurate over time.
For advanced 2D inspection, the Phoenix V|tome|x S includes X|act inspection software with industry leading Flash!™intelligent image processing technology for optimized failure detection. Users benefit from two versions:
- Flash! (for general NDT use such as casting inspection)
