See inside every part. Safely. Repeatably. On your floor.
Self-contained DR & CT-ready platforms with AERB-compliant shielding, high-resolution detectors and multi-axis part handling — installed on your production floor, not in a bunker.
Built for the part you actually inspect.
Castings, welds, electronics, composites and assemblies rarely share a geometry. MQX.drIS is built around the part — cabinet volume, manipulator travel and source energy are specified together so the system matches what leaves your line, not a catalogue average.
Every model shares one architecture: an AERB-compliant shielded cabinet, interlocked motorised doors, a digital flat-panel detector and the MQS Imaging Suite. You choose the energy and handling envelope; the operating procedure, training and audit trail stay the same across the fleet.
Key features
- Operator-safe, audit-ready — AERB-compliant shielding, interlocked doors and a logged image trail let inspection run beside the line without a controlled area.
- Fits your part — Cabinet volume, manipulator travel and load rating are specified against your real geometry, up to 100 kg.
- High-resolution imaging — Digital flat-panel detectors down to 150 µm pixel pitch resolve porosity, cracks and voids at production speed.
- More coverage, less handling — Multi-axis manipulation with 360° rotation captures every orientation in one load.
- One platform, many uses — 2D radiography and CT reconstruction share a single cabinet, procedure and operator skill set.
What makes up an MQX.drIS system.
MQX.drIS: Four models. One architecture.
| Model | Voltage | Best for | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| MQX.drIS 160 | 160 kV | Electronics, light alloys, small castings | PCBs, aluminium, plastics, composites |
| MQX.drIS 225 | 225 kV | Automotive castings, sub-assemblies | Aluminium, magnesium, thin steel |
| MQX.drIS 320 | 320 kV | Thick steel castings, valve bodies | Steel, ductile iron, bronze |
| MQX.drIS 450 | 450 kV | Heavy castings, thick welds, turbine parts | Heavy steel, superalloys, forgings |
The four models below make up the standard MQX.drIS lineup — all share the same cabinet architecture, imaging suite and safety design, differing only in penetration.
MQX.drIS 160
The compact bench-class cabinet. A microfocus source and short source-to-object distance give the geometric magnification needed for solder joints, wire bonds and thin-wall alloy parts.
- Microfocus source
- 150 µm DFPD
- 2D DR
- Geometric magnification
MQX.drIS 225
The volume workhorse. Enough energy for production aluminium castings with a manipulator envelope sized for wheels, housings and manifolds, and CT reconstruction on the same platform.
- Mini-focus source
- 2D DR + CT
- 100 µm DFPD option
- 360° manipulator
MQX.drIS 320
Raised penetration for ferrous work. Suited to valve bodies, pump housings and pressure components where wall thickness defeats a 225 kV source.
- 320 kV / 1800 W
- 2D DR + CT
- Extended stand-off
- Heavy-load stage
MQX.drIS 450
The high-energy platform. A 4500 W source with a reinforced cabinet and stage for the heaviest parts that still belong in a cabinet rather than a vault.
- 450 kV / 4500 W
- 5.5 mm focal spot
- CT reconstruction
- 100 kg stage
Where MQX.drIS is used.
What visual inspection cannot reveal.
Move the inspection beam across the casting to reveal its internal geometry. MQX.drIS digital radiography exposes hidden voids, wall sections and internal features without damaging the component.
