MQX.NeVa microfocus computed tomography system with open frame, rotary stage and flat panel detector

MQX.NeVa · Computed tomography solutions

See inside in 3D. Measure with confidence.

Fully customized CT systems that uncover defects in places a 2D image cannot reach, from PCBs and battery cells to thick steel castings, with defect analysis that feeds back into defect-free production.

Why CT

Same part. Seven questions. Two very different answers.

If you already run digital radiography, this is the comparison that matters. Both technologies find defects. Only one measures them.

Is there a defect?Yes(direct)Yes(direct)
Where is it, in three dimensions?Inferred from angles(partial)Measured directly(direct)
How large is it, by volume?Estimated(partial)Quantified in mm³(direct)
Does it fail the porosity spec?Operator judgement(partial)Classified automatically(direct)
What is the wall thickness here?Not available(not available)Mapped across the part(direct)
Does it match the CAD model?Not available(not available)Full deviation comparison(direct)
Can I measure internal features?Not reliably(not available)Metrology on internal geometry(direct)

2D tells you to scrap the part. CT tells you why the process produced it, which is what stops the next one.

Why choose MQX.NeVa.

01

High-resolution 2D and 3D visibility

Inspect internal and external structure as a full 3D volume, with no re-shooting the part at another angle to confirm what you saw.

02

Flexible energy configurations

Microfocus to 300 kV, minifocus to 450 kV, LINAC from 0.95 to 15 MeV, including dual and multi-tube builds.

03

Built for production and R&D

Cabinet-based CT designed for repeatable cycle times, without giving up the flexibility R&D needs.

04

Metrology and inspection together

Run dimensional measurement alongside defect analysis on the same scan. One setup answers the quality question and the process question.

05

Powerful analysis ecosystem

MQS Imaging Suite for acquisition and control, Volume Graphics for reconstruction, visualisation and analysis.

06

Safe by design

AERB-compliant cabinet with leakage below 1 µSv, motorized doors, light curtains and CCTV recording of every inspection.

What makes up an MQX.NeVa system.

MQX.NeVa industrial CT cabinet with motorized doors open, showing the internal tube, detector and object manipulators

A model for every inspection need.

Choose by the density and size of what you inspect. Every model shares the same imaging suite, safety architecture and analysis workflow.

Reconstruction and metrology

From scan to actionable defect data.

MQX.NeVa systems pair with the MQS Imaging Suite and the Volume Graphics toolchain to run structural, porosity and metrology analyses directly on CT data, with automatic indication reporting for every defect found.

Complete CT wall thickness analysis of an aluminium casting showing colour-mapped thickness distribution with a 2.72 to 13.59 mm scale

Wall thickness mapping

Thickness colour-mapped across the whole part, flagging thin sections before they become leak paths.

CT porosity analysis of an aluminium casting with pores colour-coded by volume

Porosity analysis

Every pore segmented, sized and located in 3D, then classified by sphericity and volume against your specification.

CT defect volume analysis of a cast structural bracket with indications colour-coded by volume in cubic millimetres

Indication detection

Automatic flagging of internal defects with position, volume, probability and diameter, across the full volume.

If you need CT results before you need a CT system, MQS runs scanning as a service: defect analysis, metrology, CAD comparison and reverse engineering on your components, delivered as measured reports. It is also how most CT purchases begin, by scanning the parts that are failing and sizing the system against real data.
