Based on its recent analysis of the global industrial computed tomography (CT) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Wenzel Group GmbH & Co. KG (Wenzel) with the 2020 Global New Product Innovation Award. Wenzel has extended its vast industrial Exact series with its new, advanced Exact L, one of the most compact, high-value, and cost-effective offerings in the 225kV and 1,600 watts performance class. The solution’s three independent axes enable accelerated measuring and a simple and effective workflow across the entire CT process.

Wenzel’s Exact series, including Exact L, can support several metrology and non-destructive testing applications, including connectors, hearing aids, aluminium casting, combustion engines, or remote controls. The company equips the Exact L 150 kV version with a high-resolution micro focus X-ray source with a 6,000-pixel detector. By establishing a new benchmark with one of the highest-powered X-ray sources available in the 225 kV segment, Exact L offers up to 1,600 watts with higher flexibility in applications for larger measuring volumes. Another added benefit is Wenzel’s configurable and modular system for individual requirements. Unlike competing solutions, Wenzel's product can be customized to fit user requirements.

Exact L can be configured to existing CT system power sources and detectors, depending on the application requirement. With a 225 kV output, scanning high-density materials, such as plastics, metal, and multi-materials, only takes minutes. This superior scanning capability makes the solution more reliable and relevant to OEMs’ operations. In addition, the solution has the smallest footprint in its class of 225 kV outputs, which addresses customers’ small space requirements.
