Nikon XTH 450
Unique XT H 450 micro-focus X-ray and CT system for turbine blade and casting
inspection.
The XT H 450 system offers the necessary source power to penetrate through high
density parts and generate a scatter-free CT volume with micron accuracy. The
system is available with a flat panel or a proprietary Curved Linear Array (CLA)
detector that optimizes the collection of the X-rays without capturing the undesired
scattered X-rays.
This linear detector realizes stunning image sharpness and contrast by avoiding image
pollution and associated contrast reduction. 450kV and the CLA are ideal for the
inspection of small to medium metal alloy turbine blades and casted parts.
Benefits:
•
Proprietary 450kV microfocus X-ray source
•
Run highly accurate inspection on dense turbine blades
•
Easy system operation and low cost-of-ownership
•
Stunning 3D images without scattering provide critical insights
•
High performance image acquisition and volume processing
•
Straightforward inspection automation
Features:
450Kv X-ray source provides power to inspect metal parts
At the core of this powerful equipment is a 450kV/1200W micro-focus source, offering
sufficient X-ray power to penetrate dense specimens, such as turbine blades and
casted engine parts.
Through automated inspection and high-speed CT reconstruction, blade
manufacturers can run detailed CT inspection of turbine blades (e.g. wall thickness) to
optimize the fuel economy of jet engines.

The proprietary 450kV/1200W source is the only micro-focus X-ray source at this
energy, and delivers 25 micron repeatability and accuracy! As this micro-focus spot
size is considerably smaller than existing mini-focus sources, the level of detail that it
captures is beyond comparison. As the X-ray spot size of these sources is orders of
magnitude smaller compared to mini focus sources, end users benefit from superior
resolution, accuracy and a wider array of measurable parts.
Curved Linear Array (CLA) detector for optimized X-rays collection
When X-rays hit an object, they are absorbed but also scattered, an undesired
phenomena that aggravates with the density of the part. Scatter coming from all points
of the part reduces image contrast sensitivity, as is visible on flat panel images. The
newly developed detector featuring a Curved Linear Array (CLA) of diodes optimizes
the collection of the X-rays that travel through the part without capturing the scattered
X-rays. By avoiding image pollution and associated contrast reduction, CLA realizes
stunning image sharpness and contrast.
The linear array of diodes is curved to further enhance image quality by keeping the Xray path length to diode receptors constant compared to straight arrays. This allows
longer crystals to be used to enhance the X-ray sensitivity and hence boost the signalto-noise ratio. The XT H 450 manages X-ray data acquisition to generate a 2D slice of
highest possible accuracy and in order to obtain a 3D volume, various slices are
combined.
Customizable macros driving automated measurement workflow
With a maximum specimen diameter of 600mm and 500mm length, XT H 450 is a
flexible X-ray/CT system that deals with multiple small blades at high magnification,
and also large blades and large castings. In a production environment, the shop floor
friendly system runs automatic data acquisition and inspection based on blade type,
generating pass/fail status for each inspected part.
When taking radiographs of turbine blades, raw images and specific information items,
such as blade profiles and inner and outer wall thicknesses, are stored in the database
for traceability and further analysis.
Full protective enclosure and continuous fail-to-safe monitoring
XT H systems have a full protective enclosure – compliant to CE and DIN 54113
radiation safety standards and have continuous fail-to-safe monitoring during system
operation.
Operation requires no special badges or protective clothing.
