High energy scanning helps inspect extremely thick and crucial parts, like those employed in the automotive, defense and aerospace industries. The MeVX6™ High Energy system from North Star Imaging (NSI) can readily scan common applications, including huge and complex assemblies, combustion chambers, rocket engines and tanks, engine blocks, nickel-based alloys, turbine blades, etc.
MeVX6™—Better penetration, better image quality
If users need to have the answers, what would be the actual result of having insufficient energy? When examining thick, dense, or bulk material, penetration can be hard with energies of 450 kV and less. Scatter, noise and artifacts of beam hardening tend to adversely affect the image fidelity. The MeVX6™ uses LINAC’s 6 MeV linear accelerator to enhance not only penetration but also the image quality.

With six million electron volts coupled with the proprietary scatter reduction technology, NSI’s MeVX6™ has the power to get through even the hardest parts. As shown in the Turbo Pump in the following image, the extra penetration considerably decreases artifacts.
The reduction of such artifacts enables improved detection of defects, the surfacing of volumetric data for nominal comparisons, and geometrical representations of part features.

Users can precisely represent the true data of users through the MeVX6™. They can eliminate the doubtful interpretation and gain a better understanding of more improved data. They can boost measurement precision, feature clarity, and the overall quality of images with higher penetration power.
