Comet Yxlon GmbH

Who we are

Comet Yxlon is a leading global provider of high-end X-ray-based systems for non-destructive materials testing in the semiconductor, electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries, as well as for research facilities and scientific institutions. At its headquarters in Hamburg, the company develops and manufactures inspection solutions for a large bandwidth of applications and diverse industrial operating settings. With a focus on easy operation and high throughput, the robust systems for production environments can get operated manually, semi-, or full-automatically. The high-precision computed tomography systems for use in laboratories support research and development and enable detailed structural analyses, metrology applications, and simulation models. With power ranges of up to 600 kV, large and dense castings can reliably be scanned and analyzed. On the other hand, the precise microfocus tubes reveal minute details of advanced electronic components in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Besides the two-dimensional radioscopy, three-dimensional imaging using computed tomography and computed laminography is becoming increasingly common to deliver precise information about inner structures and their exact positions. Analyses and measurement tasks are possible down to the nanometer range, and sophisticated software offers automatic evaluations of, for example, porosities or solder joints in integrated circuits. Especially in additive manufacturing, computed tomography accompanies product creation from development to production ensuring and optimizing the quality of the end product as well as the manufacturing process. The precise and comprehensive inspection of batteries during development, production, or even after assembly is an integral part of growing e-mobility and its safety.

Comet Yxlon Life Cycle Service offers customers comprehensive support throughout the entire system's life cycle with scalable service packages, from user training on the system, maintenance, repair, and spare parts supply, to upgrades and updates for a future-proof investment. Modular system design and upgrade concepts of the latest system generation allow users to adapt their inspection system to their changing requirements. With sales and service locations in North America, China, Japan, and Taiwan, a partner network in around 50 countries, and the complete digitalization of the service organization, Comet Yxlon is directly on-site with its customers everywhere.
