Challenge: The size of the objects being examined is significantly limited by the conventional industrial CT setup (<1 m). Larger objects can only be scanned using specialized systems.
Innovation Robo CT System: One robot carries the X-ray source, while another carries the detector.
Advantages:
CT scans of large, complex objects are possible!
Flexible digitization of a wide range of inspection tasks with just one CT system!
