Anode Structure and Chiller Integration in CT Plus High Power Tubes
German manufacturer X-RAY WorX designs high-power open microfocus X-ray tubes of the CT Plus series with reflection targets for industrial computed tomography of massive metal housings, structural welds, and aerospace composite assemblies.
Operating at acceleration voltages up to 320 kV with beam emission powers reaching 500 Watts, the focal spot heat dissipation requires sophisticated thermal management. CT Plus tubes incorporate closed-loop liquid cooling across the tube head and turbomolecular pump mounting flange.
The integrated Automatic Intensity Control system continuously balances emission current drift, ensuring exceptional beam output stability during multi-hour high-resolution volumetric scans.
Synthetic Diamond Transmission Targets and Precision Optics in THE Plus
High-resolution microfocus X-ray tubes of the THE Plus series by X-RAY WorX employ transmission geometry engineered on synthetic diamond windows coated with pure tungsten films.
The outstanding thermal conductivity of diamond spreads high energy densities rapidly, supporting target powers up to 80 Watts while preserving focal spots down to submicron levels.
Coupled with multi-pole electromagnetic electron beam focusing coils, the design resolves fine features down to 2 microns on standard JIMA inspection charts. These capabilities are indispensable for non-destructive inspection of BGA micro-bumps, wire bonds, and multilayer battery cells.
Panoramic Radiography and Internal Cooling of RAC Rod Anode Probes
Specialized rod anode microfocus tubes of the RA and RAC series manufactured by X-RAY WorX deliver panoramic non-destructive examination of circumferential welds inside narrow tubular structures, aerospace engines, and shell-and-tube exchangers.
The slender rod anode probe measuring down to 8 mm outer diameter and extending up to 1500 mm in length inserts directly into tubular components.
The source projects an isotropic 360-degree beam geometry, exposing the entire weld circumference onto digital detector arrays in single exposures compliant with EN ISO 17636-2.
RAC Superfocus variants feature internal coolant circulation directly to the target tip to prevent focal drift during continuous duty cycles.
High Vacuum Architectures, Turbomolecular Pumping, and Isolation Valves
The open demountable design of X-RAY WorX tubes relies on maintaining oil-free high vacuum levels around 10^-5 mbar inside the optical column to ensure unimpeded electron flight without residual gas scattering.
A compact turbomolecular drag pump equipped with ceramic hybrid bearings mounts directly to the tube body, supported by an oil-free forevacuum backing unit. An automated electromagnetic venting valve isolates the vacuum chamber during power outages or standby states.
Low outgassing fluorocarbon O-rings preserve electrode integrity, while dedicated thermal switches monitor turbopump temperature continuously.
