COMET's Portable Metal Ceramic Tubes
COMET’s Portable Metal Ceramic tubes are designed for use in highly demanding field-tests applications such as pipe inspection, welding inspection, and aerospace testing.
Because of their high reliability and stability, our tubes are also used in other X-Ray applications like Thickness Gauging and Non Destructive Testing.
The tube consists of a ceramic isolator and a metal envelope with air cooled anode especially designed to be continuously operated at max voltage and power.
Because of the ceramic metal design the tube’s main advantages are
COMET High Power Tubes
Since the invention of the X-Ray tube in 1895, the ratio between focal spot size and power has not improved significantly.
COMET has achieved a breakthrough in this historical relation with its new High Power (HP) technology. The HP family of X-Ray tubes has nearly doubled the power density of the conventional fixed-anode X-Ray tube.
Products and Roadmap
Today, COMET offers tubes based on HP Technology in the range from 160 kV to 450 kV.
The benefit of HP Innovations
Higher power with the same focal spot size. With higher power, shorter exposure times are necessary. The result is higher throughput through the inspection ...
Our range of X-ray tubes includes not only standard cone-beam version for radiographic applications, but also fan-beam tubes for the linear detection in casting inspection and CT scanners. These metal X-ray tubes cover the power range from 0.6 to 4.5 kW for applications from 160 to 450 kV, & are available in a number of different versions for stationary or portable systems. (See catalogue below)
TED also supplies the detectors required for these systems (see section on XRII, RIU, detector
COMET has been the unrivaled expert and preferred OEM partner in microfocus X-Ray tube technology for over 20 years and continues to establish new benchmarks for X-Ray performance and set industry standards. We offer a broad range of microfocus and multifocus X-Ray tubes (FXE Series) that guarantee a versatile use in almost any field of application.
COMET FXE X-Ray inspection products consist of a demountable (open) X-Ray tube assembly, vacuum unit and high-power generator. The required maximum magnification, sample size, and material to be inspected determine the radiation head (transmission or directional) and radiation power employed. COMET X-Ray tubes are offered with a wide power range of 100 to 225 kV.
