Phoenix V|tome|x S240 CT system

Phoenix V|tome|x S 240

Advances in inspection technology have yielded a highly versatile high-resolution system for 2D X-ray inspection and 3D computed tomography (microCT and nanoCT®) and 3D metrology. CT scanning of smaller assets is now more efficient than ever thanks to up to two times faster microCT scans and doubled resolution.

The Phoenix V|tome|x S 240 is one of the few CT systems worldwide combining the highly efficient Dynamic 41 detector technology and High-flux|target — enabling high image quality as it scans much faster, or with improved accuracy, and truly revolutionizing inspection.



Industrial microCT and nanoCT Scanning starts here

Whether you need to increase speed, detection detail, or do both, the Phoenix V|tome|x S240 Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business, can be formatted for any 3D industrial or scientific microCT task. This CT scanner is ideally suited to meet inspection challenges in the electronics, R&D, scientific, and automotive industries. 

To allow high flexibility, the V|tome|x S240 may optionally be equipped with both, a 180 kV/20 W high-power nanofocus X-ray tube and a 240 kV/320 W microfocus X-ray tube. Due to this unique combination, the system is an ideal tool for a wide range of applications from extreme high resolution nanoCT scans of low absorbing materials with best detail detactabilty of 0.2 micrometer as well as for 3D analysis of higher absorbing objects of up to 15 kg  weight and 500 mm in diameter with microCT.

FAQs
What system configuration is needed for 2D inspection?

No additional options are needed. The V|tome|x S Neo already includes the manipulator tilt axis (+/-45°)  and the X|act NDT software for autopositioning (CNC), manual measurement, automated inspection and digital image processing in the standard version. Max. 10 kg sample load (limited due to tilt mode).

What must be done to use a different X-ray tube?

V|tome|x S Neo can be ordered in a Dual|tube configuration. This setup expands the application range significantly and allows the user a fast and easy switch between 240 kV/ 320 W microfocus X-ray tube and 180 kV / 20 W nanofocus tube, just by a push of a button – no calibration needed. Upgrade of 2nd tube in the field is also possible.

What is the best voxel resolution?

Down to 2 µm for the 240 kV / 320 W microfocus tube and down to < 1 µm for the 180 kV nanofocus tube.

What’s the detector with highest resolution?

DXR S100 Pro is the next generation of our DXR family of Flat Panel X-ray Detectors. This new 100 µm resolution, 7.5-megapixel flat panel detector, is perfectly suited for CT applications due to its high dynamics and superior image quality. Frame rate up to 20 frames per second (4x4) which enables fast acquisition when it’s required. 

What is the maximum sample size and scan area?

10 kg for full 2D radiography and 3D CT. Higher load up to 30 kg depending on sample shape and application on demand. Supported sample size up to Ø500 mm x 700 mm.

Max scan volume is Ø500 mm x 265 mm is supported by DXR250RT detector with IMR (increased measurement range) / offset|CT.

What optional modules are available in CT software?
  • click & measure for full automated CT execution

  • Measurement package  (incl.  surface|extraction, easy|calib, calibration|object)       

  • Helix|CT  (object rotates in the beam a moves linear along the R axis)

  • Offset|scan (device rotates outside center => allows bigger part scans)

  • ACS|filter  (reduces noise grey value to save details during the smoothing)

  • Burn|In Check detects potential target burn-in

  • Orbit|scan circular trajectory around a virtual rotation point
