XT H 225 X-ray System XTM0522-B1 23
4 Introduction to the X-ray system
The XT H 225 has been developed utilising X-Tek’s extensive experience in the application
and development of microfocus X-ray technology. Designed to deliver high quality results in
a quick, straightforward process, it is ideal for a wide range of applications, including the
inspection of plastic parts, small castings and complex mechanisms as well as investigating
a diverse range of materials and natural specimens.
The system operates at voltages of between 30 and 225 kV, up to a maximum power of 225
W, providing a flexible tool for quality laboratories, production facilities and research
departments.
The lead-lined cabinet shields the system to less than 1 µSv/hr of leakage making the
system safe for operation in any environment. The cabinet and system are fully compliant
with international safety regulations and feature dual safety interlocks on the doors as well as
visual warnings of X-ray status. A lead glass window in the operator door allows viewing of
the sample region; this door also acts as the entry port for samples into the system.
The Inspect-X software makes system set-up straightforward for interactive and automated
inspections. It provides interactive visualisation and fully automatic X-ray inspection, with
Computed Tomography (CT) for in-depth 3D analysis. Captured images can be analysed
interactively both on-line and in post-processing. The optional validation station runs an off-
line version of Inspect-X ideal for off-line analysis of stored data and report writing.
4.1 System overview
The XT H 225 comprises a single cabinet that is separated into two sections.
1. The upper section is a lead-lined chamber that houses the X-ray source, X-ray imaging
components and a motorised manipulator for moving the sample.
2. The lower section includes the electrical controls, power supplies, manipulator drives,
X-ray source cooling pump and vacuum pump.
There is one access door at the front of the machine. This door is used by the operator to
load and unload samples onto the manipulator. This door has a special lead glass window so
that the operator can safely view the inside of the X-ray chamber.
The X-ray source is mounted inside the lead cabinet. Voltages up to 225 kV DC and power
levels up to 225 W are used to generate the X-ray beam.
The standard Ultrafocus 225 kV reflection target has the following specifications:
• Operating voltage: 30 to 225 kV
• Beam current: 0 to 1 mA
• Power rating: 225 W
• Focal spot size: 3 µm below 7 W, rising to 225 μm at 225 W
• Spot position: 6 mm behind output window
• Beam angle: 25° included angle, conical beam
The optional 180 kV transmission target has the following specifications:
• Operating voltage: 30 to 180 kV
• Beam current: 0 to 1 mA
• Power rating: 20 W (Digital Radiography), 10 W (Computed Tomography)
