Lumafield

The technology

Lumafield brings industrial X-ray CT — normally a service-bureau technology — into your own facility, paired with the Voyager cloud software for analysis. Two things set it apart from a conventional scanner. It is fast enough to run inline: integrated with a conveyor, it inspects hundreds of parts straight off a manufacturing line. And it takes on large parts — up to 1000 mm long and 600 mm in diameter — that simply don’t fit most CT systems.

Where it’s used

• High-throughput inline inspection — conveyor-integrated, hundreds of parts off the line
• Large parts up to 1000 mm long and 600 mm in diameter
• Failure analysis — cracks, voids and delamination a surface check misses
• Porosity and voids in castings, welds and moulded plastics
• Additive manufacturing — internal lattices and channels
• Dimensional metrology on internal features, from the scan
