Product Photograph: inspeXio 7000 Microfocus X-Ray CT System
Shimadzu Corporation launched the inspeXio 7000 microfocus X-ray CT system on October 21. The inspeXio series is our high-end brand of industrial X-ray CT systems. This model retains the high-resolution, high-contrast CT imaging capabilities of its predecessor, inspeXio SMX-225CT FPD HR Plus, while further improving image quality through new scanning modes and increasing the maximum sample capacity that can be inspected.
Microfocus X-ray CT systems use X-rays to capture images of the interior of objects and generate three-dimensional images non-destructively. The system rotates a metal or plastic sample while acquiring X-ray transmission images, and then digitally processes them to reveal the object’s internal structure. This non-destructive capability makes these systems ideal for research, development, and quality control in fields such as lithium-ion batteries, electronic devices, and automotive components—supporting advanced manufacturing processes.
The inspeXio 7000 combines Shimadzu’s proprietary microfocus X-ray generator and a large flat panel detector with our own ultra-fast computing system. This allows users to quickly and easily acquire cross-sectional images with a large field of view, high resolution, and high contrast. Furthermore, the system features a scanning mode that enables high-quality, low-noise CT data to be acquired even for samples that are difficult for X-rays to penetrate, allowing observation of high-quality images. The system also offers improved sample handling capacity and incorporates an internal monitoring system with a wide-angle camera, further enhancing ease-of-use.
Shimadzu Corporation has 130 years of history as a pioneer in X-ray system manufacturing. Moving forward, we will continue to support quality control and research and development for manufacturers and research institutions, centered around our high-end inspeXio 7000 microfocus X-ray CT system.
