The Waygate Technologies CRxFlex™ is an industrial computed radiography (CR) scanner used across NDT radiography, mining geology, materials research and archaeological imaging. Its selectable resolution range supports both general-purpose plate-based radiography and high-detail inspection of metals, minerals and mixed-density objects.

It provides a predictable, repeatable digital workflow for organisations moving from traditional film radiography to digital CR imaging without altering their existing x-ray equipment.

Technical capabilities include:

• Multi-resolution scanning (25, 50, 100, 200 µm) for different radiographic tasks
• Controlled 30 µm optical spot (scanner-dependent)
• Automated artefact suppression in digital CR images
• Multi-plate queueing for batch CR workflows
• DICONDE-compliant output for industrial NDT requirements

Applications

Industrial Weld Radiography

• Suitable for carbon steel, stainless, duplex and aluminium
• Resolution options suitable for fusion, root and volumetric defect evaluation
• Stable contrast response for weld-quality comparison across shifts

Casting & Machined Component Radiography

• Porosity, shrinkage, inclusions and wall-section checks
• Practical for aerospace, automotive and precision engineering

Geology & Mining Sample X-ray Inspection

• Drill cores, rock sections, mineralised samples and structural geology materials
• Highlights fractures, veining, density changes and inclusions
• Supports rapid turnaround in exploration and laboratory analysis

Archaeological & Heritage Object Radiography

• Metal artefacts, corroded objects, coins, tools and composite items
• High-detail modes for corrosion mapping and internal structure assessment
• Works effectively with cabinet x-ray systems used in conservation labs

Cabinet X-ray & Research Laboratories

• Suitable for universities, heritage research units and materials science labs
• Supports irregular and small-format CR plates
• Consistent image quality across mixed sample types
