Industrial computed tomography is revolutionizing quality assurance and product development in manufacturing. With maximum precision, it enables the non-destructive testing and analysis of components, prototypes and assemblies.
Industrial computer tomographs are known from medical technology. They represent a further development of classic 3D X-ray systems.
While radioscopic X-ray systems reproduce two-dimensional radiographic images of objects, WENZEL's computed tomography CT measurement technology generates three-dimensional volume data. All relevant information about materials and geometries can be obtained from the scanned data.
The use of computer tomography in the industrial sector has proven successful in practice and the market potential is constantly increasing. The CT technology used in WENZEL industrial computer tomographs is adapted to applications in a wide range of industries where internal and external structures of components must be completely and quickly measured and tested (NDT).
The image below illustrates the functional principle of computed tomography: The object is placed between the tube and the detector in CT. For the CT scan, the object is rotated 360°. During rotation, two-dimensional radiographic images are recorded by the detector using X-rays. In the computer, the component is calculated (reconstructed) as a 3D volume model from the radiographic images
Surface data is generated from this volume model, which is the basis for all subsequent evaluations. Small components are measured close to the X-ray source and larger components near the detector. Magnification allows even the smallest details to be resolved.
Computer tomographs are becoming increasingly important for dimensional measurement and testing technology in industry. The WENZEL exact series offers powerful and compact systems, particularly for non-destructive testing (NDT). By scanning an industrial computer tomograph, the complete “DNA of the component” is deciphered. But industrial computed tomography is also playing an increasingly important role as a measurement device. The advantages over tactile or optical systems are that the measurement data can be recorded completely and non-destructively.
Virtual programming and measurement is supported by intelligent measurement software. All measurement points of the detected component can be detected without contact and therefore internal structures can be identified. This also results in particular in solutions for the quality assurance of complex 3D-printed components (additive manufacturing).
