THE INSPECTION CHALLENGE

THE DEFECTS YOU CAN'T SEE CAN COST YOU.

Surface checks and sampling can’t see inside a part. Voids, cracks and weld flaws stay hidden until final assembly or the field, where they become scrap, returns and recalls.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the primary applications of industrial X-ray inspection systems?

Industrial X-ray inspection systems are used for non-destructive inspection of castings, welds, automotive components, aerospace parts, PCB assemblies, electronics, batteries, tires, plastics, rubber components, metal parts, and industrial assemblies.

X-rays pass through the component and generate an image based on differences in material density and thickness. RADIQONᵀᴹ digital detectors capture the image, allowing internal structures and potential defects to be evaluated.

Consider component size, material, geometry, defect type, required resolution, inspection volume, automation requirements, reporting needs, production integration, and technical support.

RADIQONᵀᴹ can help reveal porosity, shrinkage, voids, inclusions, cracks, air gaps, and other internal material discontinuities.

Yes. RADIQONᵀᴹ is commonly used to examine aluminium castings and die-cast components for internal defects such as porosity, voids, inclusions, cracks, and shrinkage-related conditions.

When comparing X-ray inspection systems for electronics assembly, consider detector resolution, image quality, image processing, inspection speed, defect visibility, automation, reporting, integration, component compatibility, and technical support.

Manufacturers can evaluate industrial X-ray inspection suppliers, such as AetherScan, based on system capabilities, application suitability, configuration, installation, training, technical support, maintenance, and after-sales service.

No. RADIQONᵀᴹ is a non-destructive testing system that allows internal structures to be inspected without cutting, breaking, or damaging the component.

Yes. RADIQONᵀᴹ can be configured based on component size, material, geometry, imaging requirements, automation, inspection workflow, and application.

Share your component type, dimensions, material, defect requirements, inspection volume, automation requirements, and application with the AetherScan team. The inspection requirements can then be evaluated to determine an appropriate RADIQONᵀᴹ configuration.

Yes. RADIQONᵀᴹ can be configured for production-line inspection depending on the component, inspection workflow, automation requirements, and production environment.
