Phoenix Speed|scan HD
Complex production lines e.g. in battery manufacturing, must safely and consistently turn out high-quality parts and products. Waygate Technologies offers the Speed|scan HD - a fully automated high speed inline Computed Topography (CT) system for production process control and optimization. Based on more than 20 years of industry proven technology, the Speed|scan HD system supports microCT inspections for up to 100% of production volume, helping you to reach your zero defect target.
The Speed|scan HD system is designed to allow full 3D production control across a variety of applications, including electronic devices, batteries, connectors, injection moldings, complex assemblies and AM parts.
Fully automated parts handling and a bundle of CT innovations enable 24/7 Speed|scan HD operation at exceptional voxel resolutions down to 25 microns - with the optional Dynamic 41|100 detector even 12.5 µm. With advanced artificial intelligence (AI) - based-battery anode overhang analysis as well as automatic defect recognition (ADR) for pass/fail decisions and fully automated CT workflows, the Speed|scan HD system is setting new standards for reliable and precise production control.

Specifically developed for longterm stability and reliability at industrial highenergy use in production, our next-generation flat panel X-ray detector platform delivers up to 10 times more efficiency and sensitivity than conventional technology 200 μm pixel DXR detectors. Lifetime has considerably been increased to meet the demands of inline applications.
- High efficiency and sensitivity for short inspection cycles
- High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for excellent image quality in production environment
- 25 µm voxel resolution with Dynamic 41|200 or 12.5 µm with optional Dynamic 41|100
- Dedicated to industrial high energy and inline applications
- Exclusive available only for Waygate Technologies customers
Proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms deliver exceptional Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) across various flaws for e.g. battery anode overhang analysis or typical casting defects. Our AI-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 the 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.
Unique manipulation system uses two manipulation units to shorten inspection cycles. While one unit is active in the X-ray beam, the other manipulator is loaded and ready.
- Reduced loading/unloading wait times
- Shortened tact times
Two security gates allow for continuous X-ray even while loading and unloading. Two robots (inside/outside) provide smooth and fast part handling capability.
- Smart loading/unloading gates for enhanced productivity
- Robot supported, fully automated workflows eliminate need for human interaction
The equipment health data of your core components can be pushed via our RM&D system InspectionWorks Care to our remote experts for fast system diagnosis and preventive maintenance to reduce potential downtime risks.
- Expert issue resolution
- Maximized uptime
- Increased system availability
