Game-changer of industrial CT
“We placed our PolyCT rotation stage in front of DT’s X-Panel 43108a detector to scan five objects simultaneously. We achieved excellent CT results in the shortest possible time while maximizing the throughput of our high-energy CT system. Combined with downstream automated evaluation routines, this is a real game-changer for industrial CT!”
