Clearly penetrating images come with 130 kV high power X-ray tube and high resolution X-ray camera.
The series has prominently high penetration and power up to 40 W, so you will readily find out hidden defects that had never been seen before. High performance X-ray CT inspection system µRay8700/8760 Series will introduce new penetrating observation technology.
Using 130 kV high power X-ray tube and high resolution X-ray camera designed for clear penetrating images, the series provides a higher-ranking penetrating observation system. We developed our exclusive noise reduction technology as well as the smallest focal spot size of 5µm with 4 W output.
Especially, incredible low noise and high contrast are achieved by the micro-focus X-ray tube. In addition to such superior images, the exclusive software having many effective functions along with superior operability makes µRay8700/8760 series exceptionally high quality system in non-destructive inspection.
Features
- High power X-ray up to 40W
- Using lateral irradiation for simple fixation
- Easy operation with attached software
- Possible to observe the entire a large sample
- Corresponding to CT Unit (option)

Functions
Lateral irradiation allows for simple fixation of work
Also, X axis (left and right), Y axis (front and back), Z axis (up and down) and rotary axis (turning) are included to support easy observation.
A round work can be easily observed by placing it on the stage and turning it 360 degrees. The stage can be moved to the left/right, front/back, and up/down, allowing for easy operation.
Using a large space stage 100 mm in diameter together with the sample fixing platform, the series offers different height settings at work as you need.
(As to sample fixing, there are variations according to works. Please contact our sales representatives for details.)
As the top panel door opens*1, a long or heavy work (10 kg)*2 can easily be loaded on the stage.
- The door of the ceiling is not attached in µRay8760
- The durable supporting weighting 10 kg is optional.
It is difficult to work with only a front door.

- A transparent image is displayed in real time.
- (2) X-ray controller
- Controls X-ray’s ON/Off, tube voltage, and tube current.
- (3) Stage controller
- Stage is operated by mouse.
- (4) Image controller
- Configures video filter, display range setting, and other loading methods.
Chap. 1 Simple observation and analysis
Easy observation and analysis at the micro/macro level and in various directions
With the reduced display function, you can easily make comparative observations.
By switching from the high-resolution display to the reduced display, you can perform observation/analysis of the sample by comparing it with previously saved images.
High-resolution display
Reduced display
With a move and a click, details can easily be observed.
This function is helpful for when you "want to observe the details of a sample while maintaining high resolution".
Because the stage moves to the part that's clicked, no details will be missed.
By gradually moving the stage, the whole area can be observed without missing anything.
The screen centers on the point clicked.
Chap. 2 Simplifying lot inspection and all quantity inspection
Easy and fast operation for all quantity inspection
TEACHING function makes it easier to inspect the certain sample repeatedly in the specific part.
This function improves inspection efficiency by automatically moving the stage to pre-registered points. Once the positional data has been stored, you can display images of exactly the same points on multiple specimens with the same shape. Also, because settings such as the X-ray output rate, the magnification rate, and the stop time can be configured individually for each point, any type of specimen can be handled.
Chap. 3 Quick response to complicated judgments
Betterment of pass/fall judgment
COLORING function makes it easier to find defects
This function detects the gray level of points where foreign matter or faults are identified in a defective specimen. It then adds color to all points that have the same gray level. Since color is added only to areas with a gray level that indicates a defect, this function allows you to assign a pass/fail more easily.
AREA CALCULATION function makes it easier to inspect samples using the areas.
This function helps you to identify differences in size when examining rows of the same object or of different objects with the same shape and to judge the results of void fraction measurements for BGAs. The measurement results are quantified and then used to measure the surface areas, number of holes, hole areas, and area ratio.
Chap. 4 Easy operation for image processing and analysis
With the exclusive software as standard, the advanced image processing and analysis are available in simple operations
Display Range
Allows you to set an arbitrary gray level based on an image's histogram and then enhance the contrast manually.
Brightness control
Individually controlling the gain, contrast, and gamma values allows for flexible change of the brightness value of images.
Size measurement
By drawing the measurement lines on the image, the dimensions within the image can be measured.
Threshold
Allows you to set all values above the threshold to white and all values below it to black.
Filters
The µRay series provides more than ten different types of filters and image processing functions that enable more detailed image analysis. Applying a filter to a moving image enables you to perform real-time image analysis.

Reliability Latest ACC function
Just a single click required even for the first specimen
The automatic contrast control (ACC) function selects the most suitable contrast setting for the image. No matter who is using the system, a high-definition X-ray image can be readily obtained.
Reliability Imaging conditions replication function
Leveraging previously used conditions to simplify the process
By loading the imaging conditions file for a previously captured image, you can capture new images under the exact same conditions. This eliminates the risk of mistakes being made, regardless of who is using the system.
Reliability Automatic aging function
Maintenance free
The system memorizes the time and date of use. The aging time is automatically selected based on how many hours have passed since that day to ensure optimum aging.
[If the aging function is not performed properly, the service life of the X-ray tube could be shortened.]
Safety Interlock function
The system stops emitting X-rays immediately if the door is opened.
Safety Auto-off function
In case you forget to turn off the X-ray source, the system automatically stops X-ray irradiation after a set time has elapsed. The maximum setting is 30 minutes.
Safety Emergency stop button
This button is to be used only in an emergency. It stops X-ray irradiation and stage movement immediately.
Options
CT Unit: 2D/3D analysis software (-LCT option)
A fluoroscope can only capture projection images, but a CT Unit can capture 3D images. A CT Unit can also capture tomographic images of the specified surface of a 3D image.
Display software
The display software enables you to obtain clear 3D images within 15 minutes. The 3D position displays make it easy to perform high-accuracy analysis. The software provides all of the functions needed for CT and image analysis.
Tomographic images can be observed from three directions.
