About Electron-X

Electron-X was established in February 2003 to provide cost effective X-ray inspection solutions to customers with specific quality requirements.

Our aim is to find the most efficient and cost-effective solution to meet our customers' x-ray inspection needs by working closely with them to establish their particular quality requirements.

Experience / expertise / RPS

Electron-X personnel have more than 30 years of combined experience in the x-ray industry in manufacturing, design and project management. Our engineers have designed and built a great many inspection systems and enclosures, just a few examples of which are listed here:

• Refrigerated 160kV room for food inspection
• Prototype cabinet system for can seam inspection
• A wide range of standard and special microfocus cabinet systems
• Walk-in rooms for inspection of automotive components
• Walk-in rooms for NDT of aircraft engine parts
• Concrete rooms for 320 and 450kV x-ray inspection
• Safety systems for a wide range of x-ray systems
• Small cabinets for x-ray system testing.

Our engineers are all qualified and experienced within the NDT industry and are committed to our goals of supplying customers with the best possible solution for their needs as efficiently as possible and within the agreed budget.

Electron-X has a number of qualified Radiation Protection Supervisors and so can ensure that any system, installation or service that we supply will meet with the requirements of the current regulations.

Our RPS can also provide Radiation Safety training for the customer's staff to give them the necessary understanding of safe working practice and full confidence in the high standard of safety all of our systems are built with.

Location / equipment / facilities

Electron-X have offices and an inspection laboratory in Milton Keynes, close to the M1 motorway and the A5 trunk road, keeping us within easy reach of both London, East Anglia and the Midlands.

We have several in-house inspection systems, which have been used to inspect a wide range of products and parts, some examples of which are listed here:

• ABS sensors
• Thermocouples for aircraft air-conditioning systems
• Micro-coax cable connections
• PCBs for BGA inspection
• PCBs for solder quality inspection
• Engine management modules for correct assembly detail
• Fuel pumps for correct valve alignment
• Relays for return-spring location
• Food packages for foreign bodies

With these systems we are able to identify artifacts or defects within our customer's product, which may be as small as 10microns and magnify them so that they are clearly visible on a computer screen.
