Automated high-speed Computed Tomography for production process control and optimization
- Productivity and quality gain due to quantitative 3D automated defect recognition and dimensional control
- Cost savings due to faster product ramp up times and minimized rejects
- Up to 100 % 3D production control of large castings
- 64-channel data acquisition and patented quick-slide manipulator for rapid sample throughput rate
- Scan speed down to 15 sec. for a cylinder head allows several hundred times faster 3D inspection compared to conventional industrial fan beam CT
- Max. sample size ~600mm diameter x 900mm length; max. scan diameter ~500mm
- Optimized ease of use and cost of ownership due to high grade of automatization
- Up to 100 % 3D production process control e.g. in production of safety critical components
- Central fast CT surveilling unit controlling the output of many production lines
- Proven, gantry based 64 channel CT acquisition off ers several hundred times faster inspection compared to conventional industrial fan beam CT
- Much faster CT scanning (better statistics) substituting other NDT inspection and metrology processes
- Fast 3D inspection and dimensional control of complex parts & complete feedback for improved reaction on process fl uctuations
- Early scrap detection before any further processing steps
- Optimization of plant equipment and tool maintenance intervals
