2018: Announcement
On January 11, 2018 the Shimadzu corporation released XDimensus 300 — the first x-ray KT-system capable to take measurements in three-dimensional space. This device using x-ray emission receives KT-images of samples (the parts intended for survey) and can measure their internal dimensions with a high accuracy.
Using such x-ray KT-system for industrial application it became possible to receive three-dimensional roentgenoscopic images (KT-images) of internal structure of samples, so, to measure their internal and external dimensions and to determine volume in a coordinate system of the received images.
XDimensus 300 was developed in cooperation with National Institute of the advanced industrial sciences and technologies (AIST) of Japan. As a three-dimensional x-ray KT-system the new device provides the highest level of accuracy of measurements in Japan with the maximum allowed error 9.8 ± 3.8 microns (depending on the measured sizes). At the same time the device allows to receive images with the highest level of permission in Japan, comparable with opportunities of InspeXio SMX-225CT FPD HR, the advanced microfocal x-ray KT-production system of the same company, Shimadzu. A system is equipped with own generator of X-rays which provides high penetration that allows to receive high-contrast images of samples from a broad spectrum of materials, such as the plastic reinforced by carbon fiber, aluminum and other metals.
It is expected that XDimensus 300 will be able to increase efficiency and accuracy of quality control of different technology processes, including inspections of the formed products and products from aluminum in automotive and electronic industry.
Shimadzu provided a prototype of this device to National Institute of metrology of Japan (NMIJ) in AIST. In NMIJ this device is used for development of international standards using which the efficiency of the different KT-systems will be estimated.[1]
