Make the move to CT and Laminography inspection. 

Looking to take your application even further? Several of our systems can be functionally upgraded to be able to capture and handle CT or Laminography data. Enquire today to find out more. 

Increase your FoV and resolution with a larger detector.

In some cases, you may be able to exchange your detector for a newer model with an even larger active area. This brings a host of benefits to your inspection process:

  • An increased active area means an even larger field of view, ensuring you see more of your sample than before
  • A larger field of view ensures you need to capture fewer images to capture the same data as before, speeding up your inspection and reducing the radition exposure for each sample
  • A larger detector also improves the resolution possible, bringing even more clarity to your X-ray samples
Smaller Detector Larger Detector
Example: 61% larger field of view, 61% more structures / BGAs / voids / etc. in one image

Unlock incredible resolution with our Vista Packages. 

The new Vista truly opens new horizons for your CT inspections: It allows you to see finest details in up to ten times higher resolution than before, and reduce inspection time and data amount without losing any details. Through increased system throughput, the powerful software helps enhance your productivity. Vista X comes in three thought-out packages with different features to meet your individual application and production requirements.
