Effortless X-ray and CT inspection of cast parts
Due to the transformation to electric mobility, foundries are increasingly producing larger and more complex components. With its exceptional inspection envelope and our smart "Casting Insights" ADR packages, the UX20 facilitates fast and precise inspections of cast parts and helps increase overall production efficiency.
Casting Insights: Choose your automation level
Stay flexible and choose the level of automation that suits your production processes! Our new “Casting Insights” packages are built around our powerful, field-proven automated defect recognition (ADR) software TrueInspect. They enable reliable, fast and user-independent inspection decisions, in complete compliance with automotive requirements.
Your benefits with automated defect recognition (ADR)
- Objective, reliable results
- 100% repeatability
- Easy program teaching for new products
- No false rejects
- Increased yield
- Enhanced productivity
- Significant savings in time and costs
- No product recalls
- Significant savings in time and costs

Intuitive operation with Geminy
As the unique user interface for all workflows, Geminy makes x-ray and CT inspections as intuitive as possible. Diverse user roles help to streamline tasks: While the expert can tweak all parameters, less experienced operators will be guided through the workflow by wizards and presets.
Avoid collisions: SmartGuard
SmartGuard, a Geminy software wizard, helps to safely generate highly detailed images without the risk of collision when positioning the test part, especially when it comes to asymmetrical parts.
Keep track: part ID and part type
Track & trace capabilities provide the flexibility to add the ID/serial number of parts to the inspection data and reports manually or via a barcode scanner.
CY Line Connect: The interface for integrating X-ray into your automated production line.
Boost your productivity by automatically loading parts to be inspected into your Comet Yxlon X-ray system. CY Line Connect provides an easy to integrate interface between your X-ray system and the production line, with standard connections for handling, data and safety, and the flexibility to adjust to your working standards.
- Package combines required hardware (including PLC, Stack Light and connections) alongside extensive documentation, including example implementations helps boost integration
- Use the standard Stack Light configuration or the easy web interface to connect the system status signals to colors according to your plant regulations.
- Debug quickly thanks to the simple interface between the X-ray system and clear state machine
- Works with both single and multi-part inspection, as well as automatic or manual loading
- Fully compatible with our Insights packages for assisted and automated classification and defect recognition
Simply share: Automated Data Transfer
Save time and effort in providing 2D and 3D inspection data such as images and reports by activating the Automated Data Transfer to a fileserver outside the system.
Stay informed: Healthmonitor
Operators can quickly analyze the system’s condition and performance with one look at the Healthmonitor.
The optimized image chain of the UX20 enables any operator to achieve reliable benchmark image quality.
ScanExtend: Enlarging the field of view
The UX20 is equipped with a strong suite of computed tomography features. With ScanExtend, the wizard guides users through the set-up of various scan-field extensions, while FlexCenter sets a virtual rotation axis to inspect difficult parts or regions of interest without the need to reposition the object.
ScatterFix 2.0: Optimized surface determination
ScatterFix 2.0 improves the quality of the CT data by reducing parasitic scattered radiation –for an optimized surface determination when inspecting large and massive components.
MesoFocus: Higher resolution, low maintenance
The MesoFocus technology combines the benefits of the mini-focus and the open micro-focus tubes. Three selectable focal spots provide optimum spatial resolution into the micro-focus range, while the robust design of a sealed tube makes the optional MesoFocus tube perfect for rough environments.
Which parts can be inspected with the UX20?
- Automotive and aerospace castings
- Welded structures
- Multi-material components
- Additive manufactured parts
- Special alloys
- Plastics and fiber-reinforced composites
- Ceramics
Which applications is it designed for?
- Quality assurance and material analyses
- Failure analyses e.g., flaws, porosities, cracks, inclusions
- Assembly checking
