Overview

When X-ray tubes stop, it continues.

Penetration is the hard limit of tube-based computed tomography (CT). The RMCT10000 replaces the tube with a linear accelerator. It inspects large castings, thick welds and assembled battery modules that otherwise have to be cut open.

You get volume data of the complete component: porosity, shrinkage cavities, cracks, inclusions and weld defects, located in three dimensions.

The RMCT10000 is a room installation, not a cabinet. For parts that a conventional X-ray tube penetrates, a Royma cabinet system is the simpler choice.

Features

Built for the thickest parts.

Penetrate dense material

Match the source to the part. The linear accelerator is available with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 MeV electron energy.

Keep fine detail

See small defects in thick sections. A 1.5 mm focal spot supports a CT spatial resolution better than 2.5 lp/mm and a density resolution better than 0.5%.

Two detectors, one system

Choose speed or contrast. The flat panel covers 556 × 635 mm with 100 µm or 139 µm pixels. The 16-bit line detector rejects scatter with a post-collimator adjustable from 0.15 to 5 mm.

Scan modes for every shape

Fit tall, wide and awkward parts. Cone-beam CT runs as circular, offset, helical or segmented scan; the line detector adds fan-beam and offset fan-beam scans.

Whole components, not coupons

Scan the part as it is built. A stitched cone-beam scan covers ø 720 × 2600 mm, a fan-beam scan ø 1250 × 2300 mm, with a sample load of up to 1000 kg on the manipulator.

Planned into your building

The system is laid out for your hall. The standard room measures 6000 × 2500 × 3000 mm and can be adapted, with full X-ray protection and a safety interlock.
