EasyTom CT Systems FAQs
What type of systems does EasyTom offer and what applications do they support?
The EasyTom product line includes high-performance industrial X-ray and CT systems designed for dimensional metrology, material analysis, and defect detection. Typical products include the EasyTom S, EasyTom L, EasyTom XL, and UltraTom, supporting industries such as medical & dental, aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, plastics, additive manufacturing, and more.
What is “industrial CT scanning” and how is it different from CMM or other inspection methods?
Industrial CT (Computed Tomography) allows you to inspect both internal and external features of parts and assemblies in 3D without disassembly. It provides full-volume measurement, enabling geometry & metrology inspections (GD&T, wall thickness, CAD comparison), material structure analysis and defect detection (voids, inclusions, misalignment). This capability goes beyond traditional CMM, vision, or laser scanning methods.
What industries commonly use EasyTom systems and contract CT scanning services?
EasyTom and RX Solutions CT systems are used in a wide variety of sectors: medical and dental device manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, plastics/injection molding, oil & gas, additive manufacturing, research and academic centers, and even arts & jewelry. Many applications involve high-precision or complex parts where internal structure matters.
Can EasyTom systems be used for metrology (dimensional inspection) and what features support that?
Yes. EasyTom systems are suitable for metrology-grade measurement. They deliver high resolution down to 2 µm (or even sub-micron in some configurations) and can generate full surface and internal point-clouds for CAD comparison, GD&T analysis, reverse engineering, wall thickness inspection, and other precision measurement tasks. The systems support ISO/ASME traceability for dimensional metrology.
What support, services, and after-sales options are available?
RX Solutions (via PQI in North America) offers comprehensive support—including remote support, preventative maintenance, onsite repairs, system relocations, replacement parts, training, and installation services. For contract CT scanning services, they also provide scanning, inspection, and measurement services for customers without in-house equipment.
How do I determine which EasyTom model is right for my part size or application?
Model selection depends on your part size, resolution needs, throughput, and inspection objectives. For example, EasyTom S is compact and suited to small/medium parts with high resolution, whereas EasyTom L and XL support larger volumes and dual-tube configurations for micro/nano scans. The website includes product specs and application guidance to help evaluate which system fits your requirements.
What levels of resolution can EasyTom CT systems achieve?
EasyTom CT systems deliver high-resolution imaging ranging from a few microns down to sub-micron levels, depending on the configuration. With advanced X-ray sources and detectors, EasyTom can capture both small, intricate components and large assemblies with exceptional clarity, ensuring precise 3D reconstruction and quantitative analysis.
What software is included with EasyTom systems?
Every EasyTom system includes comprehensive RX Solutions X-Act software for acquisition and reconstruction. We recommend adding the VG software suite for additional 3D visualization, dimensional measurement, defect analysis, CAD comparison, surface determination, and STL generation tools.
Can EasyTom be customized or upgraded for specific research or production needs?
Yes. EasyTom systems are modular and fully customizable to meet your evolving requirements. Options include dual X-ray sources, advanced detectors, robotic sample handling, and extended scanning volumes. These upgrades make EasyTom ideal for both R&D environments and high-throughput production inspection.
