Application Fields and Problem Solving Methods of Industrial CT

Industrial CT (Computed Tomography) is a three-dimensional non-destructive detection technology based on the principle of X-ray imaging. By rotating the tested object and performing multi angle X-ray scanning, high-resolution images of the internal structure of the object can be obtained. This product is widely used in multiple fields, such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronic equipment, etc. However, during use, some common problems and malfunctions may also be encountered. JEENOCE will introduce the application areas of the product and provide corresponding problem-solving methods.
