Phoenix V|tome|x M Dual|tube(+180 kV nanoCT®)Inspect with precision,power, and productivity
As manufacturing becomes more complex and automation becomes the norm, it’s more
important than ever to inspect with both precision and efficiency. Waygate Technologies
is revolutionizing 3D inspection for non-destructive testing (NDT) and dimensional control
to make these goals a reality.
By adapting CT technology for industrial needs and combining it with powerful X-ray
technology, robotic manipulators, automated software, and proprietary CT technologies,
we have created a family of high-precision CT products that reduce overall inspection
times from hours to just minutes, at an extremely high quality level.
The new Phoenix V|tome|x M pushes this innovation one step further to give you the mostversatile and precise X-ray microfocus CT system for NDT and 3D metrology and analysis.
This highly productive scanner delivers improved accuracy at unprecedented speeds—
helping you dramatically optimize your lab processes to meet today’s increasing demands.

The Phoenix VItomeIx M system covers a wide range of application
capabilities:

Internal defectanalysis

3D quantitativeporosity analysis

Assembly control

Reduce scanning
time withoutcompromisingquality
The Phoenix V|tome|x M is the first microCT system to harness thebreakthrough Scatter|correct technology, Dynamic 41 digital detector,
and High-flux|target—enabling high image quality as it scans muchfaster, or with improved accuracy, and truly revolutionizing inspection.
We offer several configurations and optional tools to help you achieve
your production throughput goals with extreme accuracy. With
new additions like the Ruby|plate and True|position for improved
measurement, workflows, and precision, as well as Helix|CT and multibeam hardening correction for improved image quality, y­­­­­­ou canincrease probability of detection (POD) with efficiency and ease.

Research & Development innovation
With its high-resolution 180 kV nanoCT®
option, the Phoenix V|tome|x M opens
a non-destructive third dimension forresearch & development down to thesubmicron scale—with no required
preparation, slicing, coating or vacuumtreatment.

Metrology 2.0
Reproducible precision 3D metrology with CT
3D CT offers big advantages over conventional tactile
or optical coordinate measuring machines (CMM)— especially if there are complex parts with hidden ordifficult surfaces. New True|position and Ruby|platetechnologies bring metrology workflows and precision
to a new performance level. These allow improved
VDI 2630 conform accuracy specification and threetimes faster performance verification of multiple
positions. This is possible due to fully automatedworkflows, new Ruby|plate calibration phantom (patentpending), and compensation of thermal drift effects byusing temperature sensors.
