Every foundry, die caster and machine shop knows the routine. A batch ships out. Two weeks later the customer comes back with an X-ray film, a dark smudge on it, and a whole lot gets quarantined. You section three parts to find out what went wrong — and the cut destroys the very evidence you were looking for.
The HS-225 is built for the plant that is done with that routine. It is a 225 kV industrial CT system with a large focal-spot high-energy X-ray source, engineered for medium-to-large complex workpieces, that sits in your own quality room. Answers come back in hours, not weeks — and you see the inside of the part without cutting it.
| Before — sample-based guesswork You X-ray a few parts, see a shadow, and still cannot say how big the porosity is or where it sits in 3D. Scrap decisions rest on experience, not measurement. |
After — measured, repeatable numbers A full volumetric dataset from one scan. Porosity rate, wall thickness, pore position and distribution come out as numbers your customer's quality engineer will accept — and as a result report you can hand over. |
| Before — destructive sectioning Cutting a sample to inspect an internal wall costs you a saleable part every time, and the section is gone after one look. |
After — non-destructive, re-openable The same dataset re-slices at any plane, any angle, any depth, months later. Nothing is consumed. |
| Before — external lab queue Sending samples out means shipping risk, NDA paperwork and a week of waiting while the line keeps running the same wrong parameter. |
After — same-shift answers The process gets corrected while the shift is still running, before the next batch repeats the defect. |
| Function | What it means for your inspection routine |
|---|---|
| Navigation & positioning | Locate the region of interest on the physical part and drive straight to it — no trial-and-error scanning of the whole volume. |
| Automatic calculation | Porosity rate and wall thickness analysed automatically on each component, with a result report you can attach to a delivery document. |
| Diverse measurement tools | Distance, angle, diameter and polygon measurement directly on the volume — usable for first-article dimensional checks. |
| Image stitching | Stitch and save large fields of view for oversized castings, forgings and injection mouldings that do not fit a single frame. |
| Automatic CNC inspection | Single-point or matrix-style program creation, then repeat the same routine on every batch — results shown graphically for shift-to-shift comparison. |

| Will 225 kV be enough for my parts? | For aluminium, zinc and magnesium castings, plastics, composites and battery modules up to roughly 40 mm aluminium equivalent, yes. Send a drawing or a sample and we confirm with a test scan. If your programme needs thicker steel sections, the same platform is available with a 450 kV source. |
| Can you scan my sample before I commit? | Yes. Provide the sample and the defect type you care about, and we return the scan data plus the analysis report so you judge on your own part. |
| How much operator skill is needed? | The workflow is position, scan, analyse. Training is delivered on site during commissioning, joystick control keeps manual positioning intuitive, and CNC programs turn batch inspection into a one-button repeat. |
| What are the site requirements? | 230 VAC ±10% 50/60 Hz single-phase at 3.8 kVA maximum, approximately 5000 kg on a level industrial floor, and radiation leakage below 0.5 µSv/h so no controlled-area build-out is needed. |
| Are you the manufacturer or a trading company? | Manufacturer since 1993, with our own factory, engineering team and after-sales service. |
Send us one part you are unsure about. We will send back the scan, the numbers and the answer.
