In which region do you need this solution?
ICT – Industrial Computed Tomography
X-rays to display external geometries in three dimensions, internal structures and
defects of objects.
With the help of industrial computed tomography (CT), X-rays can be used not only to display external geometries in three dimensions, but also all internal structures and defects of objects.
It is also possible to track and analyse the damage behaviour of components by means of a testing machine through tension/compression in real time – this is also possible in a temperature interval. This procedure is called
โin-situ CTโ (or 4D CT).
Differences to medical computed
tomography
In industrial CT, the object to be examined
rotates through 360ยฐ.
X-ray voltage and duty cycle:
- Medicine: Maximum 120 kV for a few seconds
- Industry: up to 600 kV for a few hours or days

CT and Materials Testing
Industrial computed tomography is a new testing method in materials testing.
The advantage over conventional radiographic testing lies in the three-dimensional
representation and digitisation of the data. With the help of evaluation
software, a variety of analyses are possible.
