The Comet Yxlon FF85 CT computed tomography system with dual tube configuration is designed to achieve extremely precise inspection results across a wide variety of material types and parts size. With a combination of state-of-the-art hardware and innovative software, the FF85 CT supports one of the most diverse application spectrums in the X-ray and CT industry.

The Comet Yxlon FF85 CT is a high-power, high-resolution computed tomography system ideally suited for inspections of a wide variety of small to medium sized items such as:

• Aluminum, steel and super alloy components
• Additive manufacturing samples
• Fiber-reinforced composites
• Plastic injection molded parts
• Historical art and archeological objects
• Geological samples
• Biological samples
• Mechatronic modules

The strength of the Comet Yxlon FF85 CT is its combination of two tubes (a high-powered minifocus tube and a high-resolution microfocus tube) and a spacious flat panel detector. This configuration offers the ability to inspect the broadest range of items – even allowing testing of different parts in one run.

Intuitive system control is accomplished via two touchscreens displaying easy to understand graphics. Intelligent functionality supports the user: As an example, create your individual imaging chain via drag and drop icons.

CT trajectories such as “HeliExtend” (helical CT scan and reconstruction method) provide consistently good image quality from top to bottom, and capture elongated specimens with a high magnification scan. Helical CT eliminates the need for image stitching and creates better images for tall parts.

The ability to select your own center of scan rotation using ‘virtual axis rotation’ (FlexCenter) offers considerable comfort and saves time. The inspected item need not be repositioned if regions of interest fall outside the physical center of rotation of interest.
