Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Systems

2D and 3D Micro-Focus Non-Destructive X-Ray Testing and Inspection Systems

Shimadzu’s micro-focus non-destructive x-ray testing and inspection systems are widely used in many areas of research and development for morphological and structure alternation analyses, and for quality control purposes related to preproduction inspection, failure analysis, and lot inspection. Using micro-focus x-ray inspection systems provides many benefits. For instance, visualizing and measuring internal complex features without disassembling or damaging parts reduces inspection times and minimizes the risk of recalls by screening for manufacturing defects.
