X-RAY WorX Introduces 500W Microfocus CT Tube
Posted:
X-RAY WorX is improving the flexibility of its microfocus reflection tubes to support increasing requirements for fast computed tomography in several industries. With an optimized target design and the internal cooling, the new product line CT Plus allows continuous scanning at highest power and voltages up to 300 kV.

The new open microfocus tubes cover a significantly wider range of operational setting than comparable products. The achievable focal spot sizes between 10 and 450 microns are automatically adjusted based on the emission power of up to 500 W and voltage up to 300 kV. Detailed information about focal spot sizes depending on voltage and target power can be found in the new technical datasheet.

The CT Plus tubes are designed for continuous operation without scheduled cooling periods. The new design of the tube head with internal cooling makes sure that the process heat is dissipated uniformly, and internal components are protected effectively. A new Peltier-type cooler is introduced to keep the temperature of the tube head stable during operation. The newly designed reflection target delivers an almost round focal spot and exhibits a reduced heel effect, compared to standard reflection targets.

The X-ray tubes of our new product line CT Plus are available with nominal voltages of 225 kV, 240 kV, and 300 kV. If you want to learn more about the product line CT Plus, please contact our local X-RAY WorX partners or the X-RAY WorX sales department.
