Phoenix x|argos

2D X-ray inspection system:x|argos

The phoenix x|argos is a high-resolution 2D X-ray inspection system specifically designed for extra large objects up to 100kg (220.46 lb), e.g. castings and weldings. The system combines automated digital 2D X-ray inspection with full 3D computed tomography (CT) in a single system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Features

Key Features

  • Automated 2D X-ray inspection
  • 160 kV / 320 W open microfocus X-ray tube
  • Extendable object holder for easy loading and unloading operations

Customer Benefits

  • Easy and intuitive operation
  • Combined 2D and CT operation

Applications

Casting & Welding

Radiographic non-destructive testing is used to detect flaws in castings and welds. The combination of microfocus X-ray technology and industrial X-ray computed tomography (micro ct) enables defect detectability in the micrometer range and provides three-dimensional images of low-contrast defects.

app-xargos-cast-welding

CT-image of a cast-aluminum piston showing the hidden contours and inside surfaces of the object under inspection including some voids, the size and position of which can be calculated automatically. The tomographic image is the basis for three-dimensional measurement (Surface reconstruction and normative-actual value comparison).
