High-Resolution Industrial X-Ray CT Scanner

The Rigaku CT Lab HV is a high-resolution, high-voltage industrial X-ray CT scanner. The large radiation enclosure, wide door opening, 225 kV high-voltage X-ray source, and variable SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance) allow for non-destructive scanning of small to large samples up to 600 mm in diameter ×1200 mm in height with a 350 mm FOV (field of view).

CT Lab HV Overview

What Can CT Lab HV Do?

The industrial CT (computed tomography) scanner Rigaku CT Lab HV has high voltage and excellent resolution. The unparalleled technical assistance together with the CT Lab HV can assist users in:

• Determine if users built their products exactly as intended by scanning them non-destructively and comparing them to the design to detect quantitative deviations
• When a product fails, its failure can be easily identified by generating a digital twin (a CT scan of the product), which enables users to virtually test it through flow and stress simulations or visually study its internal structures
• Using non-destructive scanning, one can clearly view inside valuable components and items, such as expensive prototypes or historical artifacts

How Can Users Achieve High Resolution?

Rigaku CT Lab HV employs the cone-beam geometry. This geometry magnifies the sample image by using X-ray beam divergence. The magnification factor is calculated as the ratio of SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance). A CT scanner’s resolution and field of view (FOV) can both be adjusted using a wide range of SOD and SDD.

Users can perceive details in high resolution up to genuine 3-micron spatial resolution by decreasing SOD and increasing SDD. A high-voltage X-ray source can enhance image quality by reducing beam hardening artifacts for high-density materials like metals.

How Do Users Achieve 350 mm FOV?

With its expansive radiation enclosure, wide opening door, and adjustable X-ray source height, sample position, detector height, and position, the CT Lab HV offers the utmost flexibility in handling big samples measuring up to 600 mm in diameter and 1200 mm in height, with a maximum field of view of 350 mm.

How Can Users Set Up Tests for the Experiment and Inspection Procedures?

Even though the scanner might provide good CT images, qualifying scanned objects and interpreting CT data are not always simple tasks. When users need answers quickly, data analysis might take a while if it is not well-optimized.

All CT Lab HVs include in-person training at the facility to ensure users feel comfortable collecting data and analyzing their own samples. The specialists will continue to assist users in setting up their inspection methods throughout the CT Lab HV.
