X-ray technology serves as a versatile toolset in advanced manufacturing, enabling defect detection, quality assurance, material characterisation, dimensional metrology, process optimisation, and failure analysis throughout the product lifecycle.
Defect Detection & Failure Analysis
X-ray imaging can detect internal defects or irregularities in manufactured components without damaging them. This is especially important in industries like aerospace and automotive, where even minor defects can compromise safety or performance. In the event of a product failure or malfunction, X-ray analysis can help determine the root cause by examining internal structures for defects or abnormalities.
Quality Control
Manufacturers use X-rays to ensure the quality and integrity of their products. By examining X-ray images of components, they can identify imperfections such as voids, cracks, or inclusions that may affect the product’s functionality.
Process Optimisation
Real-time X-ray imaging is employed to monitor and optimise manufacturing processes, such as welding, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and casting.
By visualising material flow, weld penetration, and defect formation in real-time, manufacturers can identify process deviations and make adjustments to improve product quality, efficiency, and consistency.
