diondo d_!

For a civil nuclear power application a bespoke system was designed to cope with the challenge of very long but narrow and dense samples. The final system uses a high-powered X-ray source in a rotating gantry configuration, and is modular, enabling adaptability and simplifying installation. The design is also ideally suited to the inspection of samples such as bore cores.

Inspection systems for drilling cores or tubes are known on the market [mainly as DR systems]. But are these standard solutions still suitable, if the environmental conditions become particularly demanding? The CT System diondo dcore has been developed for the oil and gas industry, in order to be operated on the open sea. The solution takes into account salty air and fluctuating temperatures as well as vibrations [ship propulsion] and shocks [waves]. The system can be used either in a manual inspection mode or in an inline inspection mode and can also be adapted, for example, to the testing of fuel rods and cylindrical test objects in general.

In addition to classical research and development, CT systems are increasingly used for the testing of smaller series such as customer complaints, production peaks, batch testing, etc. 

For a client in the automotive sector, a CT System has been configured, which can be used for the measurement of individual components [manually] as well as complete small series [semi automatically].

Often test capacities are needed only temporarily and at different locations. Sometimes, the transportation of test objects is not even possible in the first place, for economic reasons or due to country-specific export restrictions. In these cases, the diondo’s Mobile CT is an attractive alternative to traditional stationary CT Systems or external CT testing services. The systems can be configured individually and according to customer requests.
