12/01/2016 GE Measurement & Control Solutions
* Extends existing x|cube product family, including industry proven capability and existing feature set to new compact 320kV offering* Offers same patented c-arm manipulator with full +/- 45 tilt capability for increased productivity
* Provides maintenance-free high voltage plugs for reduced upkeep and operating costs
GE Measurement & Control today announced the expansion of its radiographic inspection technology portfolio. By adding a high power 320 kV offering to the widely-used Seifert x|cube family, aerospace, automotive and other industrial customers now benefit from the expanded application range on this proven product. The system's versatility allows for a wide range of applications, including everything from rapid live inspection for automotive components with throughputs up to 30 images per second at full resolution, to aviation castings requiring premium resolution and long-term data management and archival solutions.
The new x|cube cabinet design allows greater flexibility for production environments, incoming inspection, failure analysis or research and development. The system delivers enhanced imaging capability through extended c-arm angles with full +/- 45° range, allowing customers to reduce the number of shots while providing a reliable, highly productive inspection solution. Beyond the capabilities of the 160 and 225 kV systems of the x|cube family, the new 320 kV system allows ergonomic handling for three times heavier inspection parts of up to 300 kg, completing GE's casting inspection solutions portfolio. Further, robust design and the new maintenance-free high voltage plugs extend the system's availability for increased productivity and lower maintenance requirements on the production floor.
The intuitive operator interface and X-Touch® inspection programming control, in addition to the Flash!FiltersTM image enhancement technology and the computed tomography (CT) option, generate a user-friendly solution for assisted inspection by highlighting indications in both 2D and 3D. For DICONDE compliant digital image analysis and inspection data management, the new x|cube 320 kV is available with GE's Rhythm software suite providing a complete radiographic inspection solution starting from basic image handling up to long term secure digital inspection data Management.
