After half a year of usage, the head engineer Jostein R\u00f8stad provided us with valuable feedback on the benefits they gained by utilizing this product:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #416932; font-size: large;\"><b>Reduced acquisition time per sample<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #416932; font-size: large;\"><b>Enhanced quality of scan with better centring<br \/><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Our previous method for mounting samples was to use double-sided tape. We would turn on the X-rays to see which direction the sample needed to move, turn off the X-rays, open the door, move the sample on the tape, close the door, turn on the X-rays and repeat multiple times. This process could take up to an hour on difficult samples that needed a perfect centring. <strong>Now we have a perfect cantering for every scan and spend less than a minute to achieve it <\/strong>&#8221; comments Jostein. He additionally mentions that this is particularly true for samples below a diameter of 20 mm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #416932; font-size: large;\"><b>Reduced wear on CT device<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #416932; font-size: large;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #416932; font-size: large;\"><b>Fewer scans where the sample has moved<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The opening and closing of the cabinet door no doubt was wearing on the interlock. The movement of samples on double-sided tape often resulted in students pushing the sample with forces way higher than the 15 kg the manipulator is supposed to handle. <strong>This also resulted in tension in the tape that would release during the acquisition and ruin a multiple-hour scan <\/strong>&#8221; concludes Jostein.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirmation of the benefits and value of our products and having the chance to implement our customers&#8217; feedback is crucial for us, and that&#8217;s why we would like to thank you for this feedback!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CT laboratory of the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum (IGP) in the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) purchased our product translation stage SaguaroX S in autumn 2022 after trying our demo testing option.
