YXLON FF35 CT- High Resolution Industrial CT System for Small/Medium-Sized Parts Inspection

FF35 CT X-Ray System
YXLON FF35 CT is an innovative and versatile, high-resolution CT system for use in research and development as well as quality assurance.


The versatility is given by:
– Large inspection envelope of up to 510 mm x 600 mm (diameter x height, dependent on detector), variable focus-detector distance (approx. 500 mm to 1150 mm) and object transverse axis
– Single and dual-tube configuration: a nanofocus transmission tube and a microfocus directional tube selectable, In dual tube operation switchable without restart or readjustment
– Granite-based manipulation and Heidenhain linear and angular
encoders for metrology applications “
– DR functionality with digital filters like YXLON HDR (Highly Dynamic Radioscopy) for image enhancement and combined CT / DR inspection sequences
– Object tilt axis (optional)
– In total 6 to 8 axes, motorized loading door.
– System status LED bar fully integrated in the cabinet’s door
CT trajectories as HeliExtend (Helical CT), ScanExtend (horizontal field of view extension) and FlexCenter (virtual rotation axis) enhance the versatility even more”


Based on the innovative software platform YXLON “”Geminy”” FF35 CT offers a very high degree of usability:
– Easy operation by touch
– Inspection item manipulation via numeric input fields, slider or
gestures like at a smartphone”
– Easy creation of inspection sequences by graphic means of graphic symbols, drag and drop
– Integrated “Health Monitor”: numerical display or graphical history of various parameters of the installed system components : traffic light system with instructions for the user to, e.g., perform maintenance or adjustments
– IntelliGuard: automatic detection of the visible part shape and its consideration for intelligent collision protection enabling convenient and fast manipulation
– Remote Monitoring (optional) to check the scanning progress and proper functioning from a distance
– Different user roles with different access rights

The YXLON FF35 CT computed tomography system is designed to achieve extremely precise inspection results for a wide range of applications. Available in a single or dual tube configuration, it is perfect for very small to medium-sized parts inspection in the automotive, electronics, aviation, and material science industries
The FF35 CT is a compact, high-resolution computed tomography system ideally suited for inspection of your small to medium-sized items such as:
 + Electronic components like SMD
+ Samples of new materials  (e. g. metal, plastics, CFRP)
+ Microsystems, MEMS, MOEMS
+ Medical devices like hollow needles/cannulas
+ Light-alloy castings
+Organic and geological samples
Air conditioning
The system air conditioning, required for operation as metrology system, ensures temperatures inside the cabinet acc. to measurement room quality class 3 acc. VDI 2627 (temperature change in 1 h max. 1.0 K and in 24 h max. 2.0 K). The heat exchanger is designed as external device with up to 5 meters connection length. Thus it can be placed outside the air conditioned measuring room and does not heat it up. Ambient condition for the heat exchanger is max. 25 °C.
Remote Monitor
With this functionality the user can access the status of the current inspection, its progress as well as the “health condition” from the distance. The user is informed automatically about system events. This option includes an unlimited software license to be installed on a PC, notebook or tablet. Requirements are Windows 7 OS or higher, 64bit.The inspection system has to be connected with a static IP address to the network.
ASTM E1695 Software Module
ASTM E1695 defines how to measure Spatial Resolution (SR) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and provides an objective method to assess the quality of the measurement with CT. Functions of the YXLON ASTM E1695 software option are the determination of SR according ASTM E1695 as well as the determination of SNR
HeliExtend and HeliExtend Dual
The Helical CT scan method allows scans of vertically elongated parts. It ensures the same accuracy – even in top and bottom tomograms – as in central beam and avoid so-called “Feldkamp artifacts”.
Volume separation
The volume separation automatically splits a 3D-volume with multiple parts into volumes, each containing only a single part. As a result, it is possible to carry out more quickly macro-executed analyzes of the individual parts of the profile than with manual separation in e.g.VGStudio Max. The automatic numbering of the single volumes can be set to X, Y or Z direction.
SD Check Software Module referring to VDI/VDE 2630
With this software option an automated test sequence referring to  VDI/VDE 2630 with the YXLON ruby gauge (separate option) can be executed. The procedure is started with a single user interaction and results in a PDF which documents the deviation of the measured distances to the calibrated nominal values in a table as well as in a graphic. The history of SD measurements is conveniently available via the systems health monitor.
UPS – Uninterruptible Power Supply
An uninterruptible power supply for PCs is included to avoid damages at the PCs, especiall their hard-drives and to ensure a safe shut-off. Power is 1000 VA or 1500 VA depending on the PC configuration.
YXLON NAS for Data Storage 
Network storage with 4 x HDD, 7200 rpm, 8 TB or larger, RAID 5 (24 TB usable, fail-safe up to 1 x HDD),
 2 x 1 Gbit / s LAN, 2 x USB 3.0.
Blu-ray Write
Mobile Blu-ray writer with USB 2.0 (3.0 compatible)
GOM Inspect Professiona
The GOM Inspect Professional is software for analyzing 3D measuring data from fringe projection or laser scanners, coordinate measurement machines (CMM) and CT systems.
 The GOM software is used in product development, quality control and production. In order to ensure precise measurement accuracy, GOM Inspect software packages have been tested and certified by PTB and NIST institutions
The accuracy of the evaluation software is tested by comparing the results from the  software with reference results.
 The GOM software has been placed in category 1, the category with the smallest measurement deviations.
 CT data generated by the FF20 / FF35 CT systems software is handed over automatically to GOM Inspect, including the execution of macros
