■　CT imaging of a engine block for car (the movie)

As well as the internal structure of a engine block, you can see a position and the shape of voids in a casting at first sight. This CT imaging took only 30 minutes.

 

 

 

 

■　CT imaging of a car engine

Our scanner can detect defects in aluminum castings. By using reverse engineering techniques to convert CT data into CAD data, the device becomes a powerful tool for the inspection of automotive parts.

 

 

 

■　CT imaging of a large transformer

Winding wires can be clearly seen even through the iron core.

 

 

■　CT imaging of a concrete block

The different densities in the concrete particles can be clearly distinguished; besides, the internal steel frame can be visualized.

 

 

■　CT imaging of an electric kettle partially filled with water

Even large objects can be imaged in a single frame.

 

 

■　CT imaging of an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)

 

 

■　CT imaging of a lithium-ion battery

The first cross-section shows that the electrodes are mesh-shaped.

The second cross-section shows the central part of the electrodes.

 

 

■　The highest resolution CT imaging of a turbine blade.

On the left, a photograph of a turbine blade sample is shown. On the right, cross-sectional images from the CT scans are displayed.

This scan was taken in collaboration with Microscopic Scan Co., Ltd. and Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd.

 

 

■　CT imaging of a mobile phone

On the left, Photograph of a mobile phone. On the right, Cross-sectional CT scan image of the mobile phone.

This scan was taken in collaboration with Microscopic Scan Co., Ltd. and Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd.

 

 

■　CT imaging of concrete

This is a CT image of a lump of concrete. The scans vividly show the different densities in the concrete as it sets progressively over time.

 

 

■　CT imaging of a bell pepper

A phase contrast image of a red bell pepper reveals the complex internal structure of this vegetable.

Seeds and other internal structures are clearly visible.

The image on the far right shows cross-sectional CT images of a pepper.

 

 

 

■　Magnified imaging of an electronic component

The scan even shows the adhesives used inside the electronic components.

 

The electronics of the circuit pattern inside the ceramic package can be seen.

 

 

■　CT imaging of a turbo engine

We have been commissioned to perform a nondestructive CT inspection of a turbo engine from an automotive manufacturer.

Fig. 1 shows a photograph of the engine.

Fig. 2 shows the three-dimensional image obtained from the CT scan of the engine.
