Business Profile

We develop high-end X-ray and CT system solutions that enable non-destructive testing in the semiconductor/electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries – from R&D labs to production settings.

Led by experience. Driven by curiosity.


Good solutions start with good questions. At Comet Yxlon, our curiosity and passion for technology are the drivers behind our collaborative approach to product development. Based on customer feedback we create inspection systems for all types of cast parts, new materials, electronic components, batteries, welded joints, and a lot more.

Pioneering spirit meets decades of experience.


Innovation is an old tradition at Comet Yxlon. Our roots go back to the discovery of the X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895 and the construction of the first X-ray tube by Carl Heinrich Florenz Müller in Hamburg in 1896. Their legacy still inspires us today in our effort to develop cutting-edge inspection solutions that create sustainable progress.
