Industrial CT Inspection Begins Here – With Power, Precision, and Possibility
Step into a new era of non-destructive testing with the Phoenix V|tome|x C450 – a compact yet powerful 450 kV CT system designed to handle even the largest, most challenging samples with ease. Whether you're working in battery production, aerospace, or foundries, this system delivers unmatched flexibility and performance for production lines and quality assurance labs alike.
With the largest scan volume and specimen weight capacity in its class, the V|tome|x C450 is your reliable partner for semi-automated inspection and VDI 2630-1.3 certified 3D metrology – combining speed, precision, and confidence in every scan.
At its core is our exclusive 4 MP Dynamic 41|200 detector, featuring next-generation photodiode design. It offers 10x higher sensitivity than conventional 200 µm DXR detectors, enabling 2–3x faster cycle times without compromising image quality. That means more throughput, less downtime, and sharper insights.
And for those who demand even more, our premium 100 µm / 16 MP Dynamic 41|100 detector doubles the resolution – allowing you to detect defects half the size, without increasing geometric magnification or slowing down your workflow. It’s high-resolution imaging for large parts, reimagined.
With optimized 14-bit technology and a dynamic range of 10,000:1, you get cleaner images, faster results, and greater efficiency – all while reducing noise and saving valuable time.

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.
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:
