Industrial X-ray inspection systems and micro-CT scanners are widely used for non-destructive testing (NDT) across the following fields and applications.
- Electrical and Electronics
- Electronic components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductors, ICs, BGA solder joints, wire bonding, capacitors, batteries, switches, connectors, cables, heaters, sensors, contactors, LEDs, lamps, motors, probes, springs, and lenses. Applications include detection of disconnections, open circuits, layer shifts, and soldering defects.
- Metal Processing and Casting
- Die-cast products, castings, turbine blades, engines, sintered parts, high-pressure vessels, welds, brazed joints, and dissimilar material joints.
- Resins and Plastics
- Insert-molded parts, containers, caps, nozzles, CFRP, molds, and static shielding bags.
- Automotive Industry
- Automotive components, engines, motors, valves, filters, injectors, tires, radiators, turbines, pressure sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar, and cameras.
- Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Food
- Tablets, capsules, dental materials, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and packaging. Applications include detection of foreign objects (e.g., bones, insects, metal fragments) and seal contamination.
- Other Applications
- Textiles, mail, luggage, forensics, art appraisal, fossils, wood, ceramics, pottery, rubber, toys, and sporting goods.
- Inspection Purposes and Defect Types
- Contamination detection, internal structure analysis, failure analysis, reverse engineering, and detection of cavities, voids, inclusions, bubbles, cracks, crazing, misalignment, and filling defects.
