Intermittent PCB Field Failures
Why do these control PCBs sometimes melt in the field? What part of the circuit heats up? We make the views that find it! Probeam scanned, and analyzed various samples with the…

Make Assumptions –
or be Certain?
See inside, no more guessing.
Probeam industrial CT scanning reveals internal defects, checks, measures and inspects your parts – without destroying them. Based in Schaffhausen, serving Switzerland and the region.
What we do
Three ways
Probeam works for you
INSPECTION
Non-Destructive Testing
Find porosity, cracks, voids, and inclusions inside your parts — without cutting or destroying them. Full 3D defect maps and detailed reports.

VISUALIZATION
CT Viewer Software
Who is this for? Built for the engineer who receives scan data and needs to understand it — fast, without a manual. Developed and maintained in-house, rapid changes and custom functionality can be implemented. Every customer gets access at no extra cost. No other CT service provider does this.
MEASUREMENT
Dimensional Metrology
Measure external and internal dimension: bores, wall thicknesses, enclosed cavities, as well as full GD&T datasets - from a single scan. No fixturing. No sectioning. No features left unmeasured.

Scanning Technology
Two modalities.
One contact point.
Whether your part is small and intricate or large and dense — you call Probeam. We handle the rest.
Modality A
Microfocus kV
High-resolution · small to medium parts
X-ray CT at fine focal spot sizes — resolves sub-millimetre features in castings, electronics, plastics, and precision assemblies. Run locally in Schaffhausen for fast turnaround and direct communication.
Probeam lab, Schaffhausen
Local · CH
Typical part size
Up to D=400mm, H=800 mm
Min. feature resolution
~10 μm
Best for
Alu, plastics, composites, steel up to 30mm thickness
Turnaround
Often same week
Modality B
Megavolt CT
High-energy · large and dense parts
Linear accelerator-based CT penetrates thick Inconel castings, and allows artifact free scanning of complex assemblies with high metal content. It performs, where standard X-ray systems simply cannot. You ship the part, we deliver the data.

Industries Served
Where CT scanning
makes the difference
CT scanning is relevant wherever hidden structure, internal defects, or precise internal dimensions are critical.
Aerospace
PRIMARILY NDTSafety-critical components demand full volumetric inspection. CT scanning reveals subsurface defects in castings, welds, and additive manufactured parts — without cutting or destroying the part.
Structural castings
Weld inspection
3D-printed parts
Turbine components
Medical, Pharma & Cosmetics
PRIMARILY METROLOGYTight tolerances and regulatory traceability are non-negotiable. CT metrology measures internal dimensions, wall thicknesses, and fill levels without sample preparation or destruction.
Injection mouldings
Dispensers & applicators
Implant components
Packaging
Automotive
PRIMARILY NDTFrom powertrain castings to sheet-to-cast welds and functional coatings, from failure analysis to process development — CT scanning supports quality control as well as the R+D departments.
Aluminium castings
Weld inspection
Coatings analysis
Assembly verification
Precision Industry
NDT & MetrologyHigh-value precision components like tools, sensors, and mechanical assemblies — require certainty about internal integrity and dimensions. CT scanning delivers full structural analysis without disassembly.
Weld inspection
Material structure
Tool & mould analysis
Sensor components
Many other industries served — if your part has an inside, CT scanning can inspect it.
