01 – Components<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic-to-Metal Solutions for High-Voltage Imaging Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medical and industrial imaging systems rely on high-voltage X-ray technology to deliver the precision and performance required for diagnostics, inspection and non-destructive testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of these systems are X-ray tubes, where electrons are accelerated under high voltage in a controlled vacuum environment. SCT designs and manufactures ceramic-to-metal brazed assemblies providing the electrical insulation, vacuum integrity and long-term reliability required for these demanding applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, our ceramic-to-metal brazing expertise has supported manufacturers of X-ray tubes and imaging equipment worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
