Custom X-ray Systems.

Exceeding expectations with tailored solutions.

Unique challenges demand unique solutions. We’ve standardized our customization process so that we can utilize the base of any of our machines and configure additional technology and software to fit your specific needs. From medical device manufacturers to sporting goods makers, armor plate producers, and so much more. Manufacturers of all kinds have:

Gained efficiency
Lowered costs
Improved quality

With the power of Creative Electron’s TruView™ inspection systems you too can benefit from Creative Electron’s years of experience developing custom solutions across a diversity of industries and products.

Custom Industrial X-Ray Inspection Systems Built Around Your Process

When standard X-ray equipment does not match the sample, defect, throughput, or material-handling requirement, Creative Electron can configure a TruView™ platform around the application. Custom systems can combine digital X-ray imaging, Planar CT or 3D CT, automated motion, AI-assisted analysis, reporting, conveyors, robotic handling, and application-specific inspection workflows.

The objective is to fit X-ray inspection into your existing quality, R&D, NDT, or production process. Start with a proven TruView™ platform, then configure the imaging hardware, automation, software, sample handling, and integration required for the job.

Automation & Production Integration

Integrate X-ray inspection with conveyors, robots, automated material handling, inspection recipes, analysis, and reporting for repeatable production workflows. Learn more about TruView™ software and automation.

2D, Planar CT & 3D CT

Match imaging geometry and modality to the internal feature you need to inspect. Custom configurations can extend from real-time 2D imaging to planar and rotational CT for more complex structures. Explore X-ray CT inspection.

Application-Specific Engineering

Custom systems have been developed for medical devices, electronics and hardware assurance, NDT, armor plate, extrusion-line inspection, sporting goods, soft goods, and other specialized products. See additional industrial X-ray inspection applications.

Hardware Security & Counterfeit Detection

Custom X-ray inspection for hardware assurance and electronics supply chain security.

Creative Electron develops custom X-ray inspection systems for counterfeit detection and hardware integrity screening of electronic components, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and assembled network equipment. Nondestructive imaging and comparison with trusted reference images help reveal suspect components, unexpected circuitry, and physical discrepancies that warrant further investigation.

Add a physical inspection layer to your cybersecurity and electronics supply chain security programs. From incoming inspection of routers and network switches to evaluation of suspect or returned assemblies, we tailor imaging geometry, sample handling, and inspection workflows to your hardware assurance requirements.

TruView™ X-ray systems don’t replace other important steps in the component validation process, but only X-ray imaging and analysis can provide 100% non-destructive component inspection. Training is easy, and inspection even easier, providing efficient and accurate parts validation. And, our Southern California based service team will always have your back.
