The Impact of Industrial Computerized Tomography on the Castings Industry
You might be surprised to know cast metal products can be found in 90 percent of manufactured goods and equipment throughout the world. From critical components for aircraft and automobiles to home appliances and surgical equipment, cast metal products play an important role in today’s economy especially in the United States. The U.S. is the world’s largest supplier, shipping $18 billion worth of products annually (according to the Office of Industrial Technologies report, Metal Casting – Industry of the Future).
As the casting industry continues to experience rapid growth, it is not without its share of challenges. Requirements regarding material handling competence and the complexity of casting alloys are rising. Also, the increased demand for completely finished cast parts, as well as support for the development of new parts, has metal casting manufacturers struggling to keep up with the pace.

More Power Density, Faster Inspection, and Improved Resolution with the New High-Density Power (HDP) Target for the 225 kV Microfocus Tube
November 18, 2025
The Comet Yxlon FF35 CT and FF85 CT are well known for their dual-tube design, flexibility, and precision. These advanced systems are used across a broad range of applications—from semiconductor packaging and additive manufacturing to automotive components and materials research—where capturing internal details with speed and accuracy is critical. Now, these systems have reached an exciting new milestone. The 225 kV microfocus directional beam tube, available in both systems, has been upgraded with a new High-Density Power (HDP) Target—delivering a twofold increase in power density while maintaining the same form factor and water-cooled focal-spot stability. The result: faster inspections, finer image detail, and longer-lasting performance.
