Garbsen, June 22, 2009: Despite the currently difficult global economic situation, YXLON International, a leading supplier of industrial X-ray inspection systems and industrial CT (computed tomography) solutions for the non-destructive testing of materials (NDT), reports impressive sales figures for Y.Cheetah, the X-ray inspection system that had been presented for the first time only as recently as March 2009.

Even now it can already be seen that the demand for Y.Cheetah in the first year is going to exceed the company's expectations. Customers' decisions from the electronics, printed circuit board and automotive industries in favor of the diversely, flexibly deployable Y.Cheetah are based above all on the system's easy operation. As a result of the "1-click strategy", all key functions can be reached via just one mouse click. A very brief round of introductory training is all it takes to be able to generate brilliant, highly detailed X-ray images with Y.Cheetah. What's more, the outstanding price: performance ratio is setting standards on the market for universally deployable X-ray systems. That's having an additional impact on promoting sales, too!
