Product Portfolio
diondo dx Industrial Computed Tomography and X-Ray Systems
-
Non-destructive, complete and true-to-scale examination of the inner and outer structure of test objects - this describes industrial computer tomography (CT). In the industrial sector this leads to two main applications: Testing and measuring. Compared to other test methods, CT allows the spatial assignment of the defect and the exact determination of its size, largely independent of the material, even if the test object has a very complex structure.
Typical applications include examinations on plastics, metals, ceramics and fiber composites. By now, renowned institutes, large automotive companies as well as leading suppliers of the automotive and aerospace industry are among the customers of diondo. diondo dsubµ Sub-Micro CT System for Materials Research with the Highest Resolution
Sub-Micro CT System
-
The compact Sub-Micro CT System has been developed for analyzing three-dimensional structures in materials research. The sub-µ-resolution captures the finest structures three-dimensionally, which are often to be found in connection with fiber-reinforced materials or organic materials.
Features- Innovative Detector System with three different fields of view and sCMOS camera
- Compact Design due to the integration of the entire periphery
- High-Precision Manipulator due to piezo-based linear axes and air bearing rotary axis
Indirect Detector System
- In contrast to conventional Micro CT Systems, which work with high magnification, the Sub-Micro CT Systems owe their high spatial resolution to their innovative x-ray camera, which allows fully automatic switching between three fields of view. The smallest of them scans your samples with 0.3 μm/voxel and the largest captures a measuring volume of up to 5 mm (1.4 μm/voxel scanning).
Applications
- Nothing remains hidden for these test methods
With a maximum voxel resolution of 300 nanometers they are particularly suited for the three-dimensional analysis of micro structures. The main areas of application lie in materials research, in particular for lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber and glass fiber composites in order to determine the density and/or the spatial orientation of the fiber. Other areas of application are metal alloys (phase fractions and shape within the metal structure), metallic and organic foams (pore size and distribution), as well as natural materials such as wood, bone and stone.

diondo d1
High Performance Micro-CT System
- The high-resolution micro-CT system diondo d1 has been perfected for the analysis and measurement of small-to-medium-sized components. By using a high-power transmission X-ray source, a fourfold higher resolution is achieved in the same measuring time compared to conventional systems. Alternatively, with the same resolution, the measuring time can be reduced by a factor of four. The extremely high transmission power also enables the analysis of challenging material combinations such as those used in electromobility applications, e.g. in the development of battery cells.
Highlights
- Breathtaking Resolution in an Eextremely Short Time
The high penetration power of the 240 kV transmission tube combined with the ultimate target power of 80 watts revolutionizes CT analysis in terms of resolution and scan time of challenging samples. - Maximum Inspection Volume for Highest Precision
The combination of a tightly-spaced pixel grid and an especially large active area enables both an extremely high resolution for the examination of small objects and the imaging of large samples in one scan. Multiple time-consuming partial scans at the expense of precision are avoided.
Further Highlights- High-Precision Granite Manipulator
Inherent rigidity and temperature stability guarantee highest precision even after many years of intensive use. - Coordinate Measuring Technology
Reproducible 3D measurement technology for highest demands according to VDI/VDE 2630-1.3 - Advanced scanning modes
including helix scanning for high flexibility
- Breathtaking Resolution in an Eextremely Short Time

Microfocus X-Ray Tube (JIMA) Resolution as a Function of Target Power
- High-Performance Transmission X-Ray Source
The Best of Both Worlds
Classical CT systems work with reflection tubes as the radiation source. The high power required here to penetrate challenging materials or higher wall thicknesses in components has a negative impact on maximum resolution.
Simply put, the higher the power used, the lower the resolution. To counteract this phenomenon, lower power levels and the associated longer measurement times are used. This is not necessary with the diondo d1.
By using a high power transmission X-ray source, up to four times higher resolution can be achieved for the same measurement duration compared to conventional systems. Alternatively, the measuring time can be shortened by a factor of four for the same resolution, which is of great advantage not only for small series production.
Applications
- Wide Range of Applications
Additive Manufacturing
The d1 is ideally configured for addressing the inspection needs of precision additively manufactured parts for demanding applications in aerospace and automotive industries.
Materials Science (composites)
Despite the high specific strength of composites, premature component failure can occur due to various material defects, e.g. incorrect fiber orientation or impact damage. Non-destructive CT scans can be used to check components before returning them to service.
Metrology
Computed tomography can be used to perform numerous metrological tasks where other measurement systems reach their limits. Even optically challenging surfaces, e.g. transparent or polished surfaces and inaccessible areas can be measured rapidly without any problems at high resolution.

di Scatter
- Top level automated scattered
radiation correction
Especially in CT systems in the area of >300 kV scattered radiation causes a significant impairment of the image quality. In the case of line detectors, this effect is avoided by a strong pre-collimation. Yet this is at the expense of measurement time, since only a small layer of the test object can be tomographed during one revolution of the object. In terms of measuring time, flat panel detectors are clearly superior to due to their large surface. Because of the lack of collimation the scatter has its unrestricted impact and complicates or even prevents a reliable detection of defects.
diScatter is capable of compensating this impairment almost completely. After carrying out a fully automatic calibration, entire measurement series of structurally identical and similar test objects can be tomographed in high image quality and in very short time.
