Advanced multi-sensor and multi-source industrial computed tomography systems

To extend the range of applications for industrial computed tomography systems, different approaches making use of several X-ray sources and detectors are presented. The combination of microfocus sources with high-voltage and high-power sources makes it possible to combine micro-CT and macro-CT applications in a single system. Digital flat panel detectors combined with line detectors allow for fast volumetric scanning and high-quality data acquisition over a wide range of part size. The benefit from multi-sensor and multi-source X-ray tomography systems is demonstrated by results from different applications, with a focus on light metal parts.
