Yxlon achieves digital laminography breakthrough

The system, developed by CT experts at the Hattingen facility enables Yxlon and the COMET Group to access a new range of possibilities and markets. Laminography is a special X-ray technique positioned between a simple X-ray and computer tomography. Its applications include testing multilayer boards in electronic components. Due to Yxlon's use of the high power, high energy X-ray source developed by COMET, laminography can now be applied to large components with complex shapes. “With our innovative process in the field of laminography, the COMET Group has achieved a significant technological step forward that makes us unique throughout the world,” said COMET Group CEO, Ronald Fehlmann. “The innovation is a further step in the implementation of our strategy and shows how we can build on our position as an innovative technology and market leader and inspire our customers.” The first laminography system was supplied to China for testing aerospace components. www.yxlon.com
