CT tasks using high emission currents stress conventional hairpin
fi laments and reduce their lifetime
. To ensure long-term stability,
reduce costs and increase throughput due to fewer fi lament
replacements, GE´s product line phoenix|x-ray off ers an
advanced solution for its easy-to-change plug-in cathodes:
• long-life|fi lament as a sales option for all phoenix|x-ray
2D inspection and CT systems with directional X-ray tubes
• Retrofi t package for existing phoenix|x-ray directional
type microfocus X-ray tubes

phoenix long-life|fi lament
Ensuring long-term stability and optimizing system efficiency
long-life|fi lament - Your Advantages
Time and cost effectiveness
• Notably increased fi lament lifetime for longer operation time
especially at high emission currents
• Increased machine uptime due to lower frequency of fi lament
replacements
Reliability
• More reliability in high through-put scenarios because of
enhanced long-term stability
Ease of use
• Easy-to-change plug-in cathode with pre-adjusted fi lament: whole replacement process takes < 30 min.
• Easy switching between standard and long-life|fi lament

Signifi cantly extended fi lament lifetime
With phoenix|x-ray´s long-life|fi lament, the lifetime in-
creases up to factor 10 (at a tube current of 3000 μA)
compared to conventional fi laments.
