New compact benchtop X-ray CT system

Jul 25 2024

Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation and testing equipment, is proud to announce the European launch of its innovative XSeeker 8000 benchtop computer tomograph. This marks the company’s first foray into the European industrial CT systems sector, building on a rich history of experience in Japan.

The XSeeker 8000 ushers in a new era for Shimadzu in Europe. Designed for simplicity, it is the smallest, lightest benchtop CT system in its X-ray output class. It is equipped with a high-output X-ray generator and a high-resolution flat panel detector. Despite its compact size, the XSeeker 8000 is a powerful system with a high X-ray output of 160 kV. This makes it an ideal solution for the analysis of small-sized components such as plastic mouldings, aluminium die casts, and other metals directly next to the production line.

Thanks to its 160-kV X-ray output, the system can observe thick, hard-to-penetrate plastic and metal parts. The offset scan layout extends the width to approximately twice that of conventional scans, resulting in an input resolution equivalent to 5.6 million pixels. The system provides high accuracy scanning across a wide 100-mm diameter field of view size.

The system is optimised for inspections, offering a three-step scanning process and operation at the push of a button, with scanning taking as little as 12 seconds and high-speed reconstruction calculations. The newly developed XSeeker control software provides high operability and the highest throughput to date.

With clear image quality and high throughput, the XSeeker 8000 supports applications in a wide range of situations, from detailed observations in product development and quality evaluation to inspections at machining sites.
