Phoenix V|tome|x C450
Inspect and measure large samples with high precision and throughout.
The Phoenix V|tome|x C is a high performance compact industrial 450 kV Minifocus CT system for inspection and 3D metrology of a wide applications range such as large light metal castings, turbine blades, AM parts etc. The V|tome|x C450 is also available with Mesofocus tube for more resolution.
Waygate Technologies’ patented Scatter|correct technology automatically removes most scatter artifacts from the CT volume. This technological advancement provides image quality like that achieved with conventional fan-beam scanning but at speeds up to 100 times faster.
Industrial CT Inspection of large, high absorbing samples starts here
Our Phoenix V|tome|x C is a compact 450 kV CT system with the largest possible scan volume and usable specimen weight especially for production and production-related areas such as production lines and quality assurance laboratories in battery manufacturing, in foundries and in aerospace – a flexible combination of semi-automated, non-destructive inspection and VDI 2630-1.3 specified 3D metrology.
The Phoenix V|tome|x C comes standard with our exclusive 4 MP Dynamic 41|200 next-generation photodiode design industrial X-ray detector. It provides 10x increased sensitivity relative to the state of the art 200 µm pixel size DXR detectors producing 2-3x cycle time increase without image quality impact, making inspections and measurements more efficient and productive. Compared to 16-bit detectors, the optimized 14-bit technology offers the highest efficiency with a dynamic range of 10000:1 and thus saves time in use and also generates less noise in the image. As a premium option, the 100 µm / 16 MP Dynamic 41|100 detector provides a 2x resolution increase without cycle time impact. Detection of 2x smaller defects without an increase of geometric magnification allows for the imaging of large objects at a higher resolution.
- 450 kV / 1500 W bipolar Minifocus or the optional Mesofocus X-ray tube for higher resolution – specially optimized for CT applications
- Special design for sharp CT scans of large and high absorbing samples
Scan even large parts with up to 70 % larger scan volumes.
The Multi|bhc tool corrects beam hardening artifacts, which typically appear as dark stripes between dense areas in multi-material samples.
Scan at the touch of a button to achieve high throughput and efficiency.
The Quick-pick|Manipulator of the high-speed configuration HS even enables fully automated CT evaluation of large series, e.g. scanning of up to 25 turbine blades without personnel within approx. 2 hours. The system offers industry-leading sample size, flexibility and maximum penetration performance for highly absorbent samples at 450 kV.
In-house speed-optimized 3D volume analysis and defect detection for process control in industrial mass production.
The system guarantees a measurement accuracy of SD ≤ (15 ± L/50 mm) µm in accordance with VDI/VDE 2630-1.3 for reliable revalidation of system performance and reproducible measurement applications. The Ruby|plate 240 calibration module and the compensation of thermal drift effects through the use of temperature sensors enable automated measurement sequences and precision at a new performance level for even larger parts.
This enables the improved VDI 2630-compliant accuracy specification and three times faster performance verification of multiple positions - reliably and reproducibly:
CAD target/actual comparison
Dimensional measurements / wall thickness analysis
Reverse engineering / tool compensation
Phoenix Datos|x 3D computed tomography acquisition and reconstruction software. Optional 3D evaluation softwarepackages available upon request for 3D metrology, failure analysis, and structural analysis with lowest scatter artifacts.
Yes, the Quick|pick manipulator of the high-speed configuration HS allows fully automated CT evaluation of large batches, e.g. to scan up to 25 turbine blades without any operator action within approx. 2 hrs.
The V|tome|x C from Waygate Technologies uses a temperature-stabilized Dynamic 41|200p+ large area detector with superior image and result quality, 410 x 410 mm (16” x 16”), 200 µm pixel size, 2036 x 2036 pixels (4 MP), extremely high dynamic range > 10000:1.
Alternatively the Dynamic 41|100 with the same size and dynamic range but with 100 µm pixel size resulting in 16 MP can be used.
If necessary optionally detectors a LDA detector package („fan”: 16 bit Linear Detector Array with 820 mm sensitive width, 2050 pixels, 400 µm pitch) is available also in combination with a Dynamic 41 detector.
Scans are possible up to a sample dimension of Ø 500 mm x 1000 mm (max. scan diameter ~500 mm) and 100 kg (for HS version: 270 x 310 mm / up to 10 kg rotation unit and 100 x 125 mm / up to 3 kg Quick|pick gripper), depending on the application.
The V|tome|x C employs a radiation safety cabinet for full protective installation without type approval according to German StrSchV/StrSchG and in compliance with French NFC 74 100 and US Performance Standard 21 CFR Subchapter J. For operation, other official licenses may be necessary.
