X-ray Tube Manufacturing

Fine craftmanship and a fully controlled process.

X-ray Tube Manufacturing

The manufacturing of high-quality X-ray tubes involves several crucial steps that ensure the precision and reliability of the final product. Here is a description of the typical process steps:

  1. Material Preparation: Parts are manufactured with specific material specifications, surface finishes, and contamination controls to ensure quality and performance.
  2. Cleaning: Proprietary cleaning protocols are employed to remove residues, such as cutting fluid, from the manufacturing process.
  3. Treatment: Parts undergo annealing to achieve ultra-clean surfaces.
  4. Sub-Assembly Construction: Components like the cathode assembly are built in a clean room environment to maintain cleanliness and precision.
  5. Glass Work: This step requires precise timing and craftsmanship to ensure the quality of the glass components.
  6. Vacuum Baking: The entire tube is baked to achieve the required vacuum level, which is crucial for the tube's longevity.
  7. Quality Control: The dimensions, glass seals, and other critical parameters are rigorously checked to ensure they meet quality standards.
  8. Image Characterization: Measurements such as focal spot size are conducted to verify the tube's imaging capabilities.

Luxbright is equipped with the necessary technology, including an ISO Class 7 clean room and advanced pump technology, to produce high-quality X-ray tubes. Achieving the correct vacuum level in the finished tube is essential for ensuring a long-lasting, sealed X-ray tube
