DETECTABLE DEFECTS

O que o RX e a CT conseguem revelar

Detectability depends on radiographic contrast, orientation, resolution, the thickness penetrated and the signal-to-noise ratio.

FAQ

Questions before choosing a solution

A trial with real parts is the most reliable way to validate detectability and cycle time.

2D X-ray or CT?

2D X-ray is usually faster for serial inspection. CT reconstructs the 3D volume and enables defects to be located, thicknesses to be measured and internal geometries to be analysed.

Can the system make automatic decisions?

Yes, through ADR and validated rules. Performance must be confirmed with good and defective parts, including assessment of false accepts and false rejects.

What is the difference between 160 and 320 kV?

Higher energy increases the ability to penetrate dense or thick materials. Final resolution also depends on the focal spot, detector, magnification and geometry.

Can it be integrated into an existing line?

Yes. The solution can include conveyors, robots, identification, PLC, MES, sorting and image storage by serial number.

What data is needed for a study?

Drawing or CAD, material, thicknesses, dimensions, weight, defects and critical sizes, takt time, layout and applicable standards.

Will inspection damage the part?

No. This is a non-destructive testing method. Radiation safety is provided by the enclosed equipment and the regulatory assessment of the installation.

Do you have an internal defect that is difficult to find or an overly manual inspection process?

Send us parts, material, thicknesses, the critical defect and cycle time. We prepare the test and propose a suitable X-ray or CT architecture.
