Industrial X-ray Scanning Services
Precision is key in making high-quality products and manufacturing machinery; however, losses in alignment or slight shifts may cause problems such as structural damage. Fortunately, the certified engineers at JTL America have the ability to ensure your products meet their required specifications without compromising an object’s structural integrity. We achieve this through the use of high quality inspection methods such as 2D and 3D X-ray CT scanning.
JTL America offers high quality X-ray scanning and other industrial testing services to ensure quality/safety standards are met within your industry. We have the expertise and equipment to conduct top-quality industrial inspections.

X-ray CT Scanning at JTL America
3D Computed Tomography X-ray Scanning is a method of inspection that has the ability to observe any cross-sectional position/magnification from three directions (X, Y, Z) and structure the observation into a 3D image. This technique allows users to see inside an object without damaging its components. There are several applications for this type of inspection. Several of these applications include: inspection of automotive vehicles, aerospace technology, orthopedic devices, manufacturing plants, product research/development, and more.
2D X-ray Scanning
Thin parts such as electronic circuit board is suitable for X-ray scanning. The voids on solder is clearly shown in the image.
X-ray Scanning Uses
In addition to 3D X-ray CT scanning, our scanning technology is able to provide 2D X-Ray scans; this is also known as 2D Digital Radiography (DR). 2D X-ray scanning involves capturing and inspecting two-dimensional images. These images can be viewed on a monitor as static images or video in real-time. It’s beneficial to view images in real-time because this allows the user to continuously position the part until the desired view is shown. This allows the user to capture a large amount of images very quickly and examine components during every phase of the testing process.
Specific uses and applications of 2D X-ray scanning include:
Live inspection of a product during various phases (i.e. under tension)
X-ray imaging to determine the structural integrity of internal components
Detection of contamination in products
High-resolution x-ray imaging for product failure analysis
X-ray CT Scanning is not just useful for product quality assurance, it is also an indispensable maintenance and inspection process. For example, this inspection may be used as part of a plant’s maintenance program as it allows for early identification of components that will soon require replacement; thus, preventing equipment failure. This is a cost-effective option for manufacturers and plant managers because the testing does not damage the system. Other specific uses include, but are not limited to the following:
Circuit board wiring pattern investigation
Internal voids investigation of resin material
Resin/ceramic inner contamination investigation
Aluminum die product internal voids investigation
Assembled parts fitted investigation (Caulking etc.)
Mass production defects investigation
