Industrial CT

X-ray CT scanners are primarily classified into two main categories: medical and industrial.

Medical CT scanners: For medical CT scanners, the utmost priority is to minimize the patient's exposure to radiation during the examination.; To create a 3D image, the X-ray tube aand detector rotate around the patient. This process requires a high X-ray output (high dose rate) for a very short exposure time to minimize motion artifacts and complete the scan quickly.

Industrial CT scanners: In contrast, radiation exposure to the object is not a concern for industrial products. Therefore, the X-ray tube and detector can remain stationary while the object is rotated on a turntable. This allows for longer exposure times using a lower dose rate. As a result, industrial CT scanners can produce high-resolution, low-noise data with exceptional accuracy. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, including quality inspection, material evaluation, and reverse engineering.

High voltage power supplies for X-ray tubes used in industrial CT inspection systems, as well as integrated X-ray tube and high-voltage power-supply units, have long been part of Matsusada Precision's product lineup. However, sales of the integrated models have now been discontinued.
