X-ray inspection systems for automotive

Challenges for materials testing in the automotive industry  

Materials testing and X-ray inspection in the automotive industry face challenges in terms of the diversity of materials, the size, and geometry of components, and the sensitivity and accuracy of test methods. Cost factors and complex interpretation of CT data are other challenges. Nevertheless, continuous advances in technology are being made to overcome these challenges and improve quality, safety, and efficiency in automotive production.  

Millions of components are manufactured in the automotive industry, and testing must keep pace with the high production rate. The challenge is to optimize materials testing to meet the high throughput requirements without compromising on testing accuracy. Modern materials testing and X-ray systems can be costly. Due to high-cost pressures in the industry, the challenge for the automotive industry is to use efficient inspection solutions that offer both high performance and economic efficiency to avoid unnecessarily increasing production costs.  

The automotive industry has strict norms and standards for quality assurance and vehicle safety. The challenge is to perform materials testing and X-ray inspection to meet applicable regulations and requirements. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have the design of a testing system reviewed by a specialized company before implementation. VCxray has a team of application specialists that can assist with implementation.
