Shimadzu Corporation launched the inspeXio 7000 microfocus X-ray CT system on October 21. The inspeXio series is our high-end brand of industrial X-ray CT systems. This model retains the high-resolution, high-contrast CT imaging capabilities of its predecessor, inspeXio SMX-225CT FPD HR Plus, while further improving image quality through new scanning modes and increasing the maximum sample capacity that can be inspected.
Microfocus X-ray CT systems use X-rays to capture images of the interior of objects and generate three-dimensional images non-destructively. The system rotates a metal or plastic sample while acquiring X-ray transmission images, and then digitally processes them to reveal the object’s internal structure. This non-destructive capability makes these systems ideal for research, development, and quality control in fields such as lithium-ion batteries, electronic devices, and automotive components—supporting advanced manufacturing processes.
The inspeXio 7000 combines Shimadzu’s proprietary microfocus X-ray generator and a large flat panel detector with our own ultra-fast computing system. This allows users to quickly and easily acquire cross-sectional images with a large field of view, high resolution, and high contrast. Furthermore, the system features a scanning mode that enables high-quality, low-noise CT data to be acquired even for samples that are difficult for X-rays to penetrate, allowing observation of high-quality images. The system also offers improved sample handling capacity and incorporates an internal monitoring system with a wide-angle camera, further enhancing ease-of-use.
Shimadzu Corporation has 130 years of history as a pioneer in X-ray system manufacturing. Moving forward, we will continue to support quality control and research and development for manufacturers and research institutions, centered around our high-end inspeXio 7000 microfocus X-ray CT system.
Features
1. Large Field of View, High Resolution, High Contrast
Equipped with Shimadzu’s proprietary microfocus X-ray generator and a large, high-resolution flat panel detector, the system acquires images with a large field of view, high resolution, and high contrast. Combined with Shimadzu’s high-speed computing technology, users can quickly and easily observe internal structures.
2. High-Quality Cross-Sectional Images with Reduced Noise
The system is equipped with a standard scanning mode that enables acquisition of low-noise CT data even for samples that are difficult for X-ray to penetrate, such as large lithium-ion batteries. When used in combination with image processing filters in the dedicated image viewer, the system can provide users with high-quality cross-sectional images tailored to their specific needs.
3. Support for a Wide Range of Samples
The system now accommodates samples 1.6 times heavier than the previous model, enabling inspection of larger components. An internal monitoring system further simplifies positioning for objects of all sizes.
