Shimadzu’s New Small Footprint X-ray CT System Enables High Functionality

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, Md., introduces the XSeeker™ 8000 bench-top X-ray computed tomography (CT) system, the smallest and lightest instrument in its X-ray output class.

The XSeeker 8000 features a 160-kV high-output X-ray source that enables observations of thick, hard-to-penetrate plastic parts, as well as aluminum die cast and other metal components.

The XSeeker 8000 has four preset scan conditions. These four options incorporate a combination of material density and CT image quality settings. The standard software includes both cross-sectional and 3D volume rendering viewers, enabling more intuitive observations coordinated with the cross-sectional display function. All processes of repetitive scanning in inspection applications – from start of scanning to observing cross sections of interest – are available at the push of a button.
