GEOMETRY
& METROLOGY
Computed Tomography is a powerful technology allows to inspect in multiple possibilities complex components and material. CT is an easy and efficient way to provide results based on a non-destructive approach and most important generate data to characterize internal features through the capability to reconstruct a complete 3D model.
Multiple applications can be performed with the use of CT, from traditional industrial analyses such as process defects detection samples (voids, cracks, porosities, inclusions) to metrology tasks as dimensional measurements of the external as well as the internal features of complex geometry.
Metrology and measurement applications require a virtual segmentation of the resulting CT volume to separate the different components (materials, air, foam….) and create the surfaces. The 3D model permits a large range of measurements in most samples, including the most difficult ones that are not achievable by traditional measurement equipments as optical or tactile measurement tools.
COORDINATE MEASUREMENT
Determination of component's geometries with an ultra-high accuracy in a single and fast scan
X-Ray Computed Tomography has a growing number of industrial applications requiring dimensional metrology. The complexity and the variety of the products, combined with the request of cost and time efficient solutions for production and product development, creates new challenges on testing quality and conformity of products.
CT is a powerful non-destructive technique enabling the measurement and the characterization of internal and external structures of an object in the 3D volume to calculate various parameters on surfaces and features. Independently of the shapes complexity and based on high density 3D point clouds volumes generated by CT, any traditional measurements can be performed, including GD&T dimensional measurement and position tolerances such as parallelism, perpendicularity, concentricity…
Non-destructive and contact-free testing permits the inspection of multiple industrial components. Assuring micrometer accuracy in most cases, CT becomes an essential technology to qualify and inspect complex parts or assemblies.
