Large-format scanner
The Saturn large-format industrial X-ray CT scanner adds an extended-capacity, high-energy solution to the Lumafield platform, providing designers and manufacturers with comprehensive internal quality data from large, dense parts and full-scale assemblies. Combined with Lumafield’s powerful, automated analysis tools, Saturn’s bigger scan volume helps companies scan more parts, more often, empowering them to move faster from discovery to decision.
Built for the full-size, complex geometries that define high-stakes programs, Saturn makes it straightforward to inspect critical components with full internal visibility. Large parts can be scanned in their entirety, so teams can evaluate internal quality elements like porosity, wall thickness, bonds, and welds that are often hidden or only partially revealed by sample-based or sectioned inspections. Suitable for aerospace cast inspection and other critical metal components, Saturn captures digital radiographs that are compliant with AMS-2175, while also enabling full CT for closer inspection of pores, cracks, and potential loose metal powder. From large aerospace 3D prints and automotive castings to solid rocket motors and prismatic batteries, Saturn makes comprehensive internal insights more accessible.
Saturn’s scan volume accommodates large, dense components that outsize traditional CT systems, making it practical to inspect full automotive housings, aerospace structures, and other complex assemblies in a single scan.
Saturn scans can reveal the internal layout of electric vehicle or e-bike battery packs, showing cell alignment, bus connections, fasteners, and enclosure details that cannot be imaged by systems with smaller scan volumes.
In critical components, even small defects can create major cost, schedule, and opportunity impacts. Saturn brings industrial CT onsite and makes scanning routine, so teams are not forced to choose between speed and confidence. Empowered with CT data, product development and manufacturing quality teams can more rapidly perform First Article Inspection and Production Part Approval Processes to qualify design, tooling, and supply chain partners. Organizations can make earlier, better-informed decisions, faster progress through program milestones, and stronger outcomes through higher yield, fewer nonconformances, and lower overall risk.
Saturn offers the largest scannable volume of any industrial CT scanner designed to fit through a double door, reducing the need for facility modifications or special access. Paired with Lumafield’s software platform and its automated analysis tools, Saturn helps teams get more from every scan and share results quickly to support efficient collaboration.
