As a follow on topic to the encapsulating voids, we periodically have
the need for a system to x-ray failed potted assemblies to determine the
cause of failure.  Sometimes this can be accomplished by sawing the unit
in half, but sometimes we need to look inside without destroying the
item.  We could build a system, but a recent sanity check suggested that
by buying an industrial unit it would come with all the necessary
guards, precautions and certifications that a home made unit might not.

Our sample size is usually no larger than a 6 inch cube.  Naturally
tomorrow someone will need to x-ray something larger than a six inch
cube so a little flexibility would be nice.

I'm interested in knowing what is out there, what is good and bad and
relative cost.

Thanks in advance,

Phil Nutting
