We Analyze for You

CT Pores in aluminium

Defects

Cavities, pores, cracks or material inclusions can be determined and measured in a defect analysis.

Fiber Composites

The 3D distribution and orientation of the fibers can be analyzed.

Foams and Powders

Voids and pores can be quantified for their properties such as volume, surface area and sphericity or compactness.

We Measure for You

Dimensions

We measure distances, angles or radii for deviations from the nominal dimension.

Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Geometric product specifications are measured against toleranced drawing specifications for allowed deviations of components.

Nominal-Actual Comparison

The color-coded comparison allows the comparison of (i) part and CAD, (ii) OK part and NOK part, (iii) parts from different suppliers, or (iv) part before and after test.

Wall Thickness

The analysis of the wall thickness offers conclusions about the production process.

Assembly Analysis

A look inside components provides insights about correct assembly.

Solder Joints and Connections

Connection points can be checked for their mechanical or electrical contact.

Printed Circuit Boards

The reliability of printed circuit boards can be evaluated. This is also possible in places that are not accessible with conventional methods.

Industrial Computed Tomography at Work

3D Measurement Technology

Digitizing the entire component using computed tomography enables precise and fast analysis of drawing features and tolerances. In addition, free-form surfaces can be compared directly with CAD, giving the user a simple method of visualizing deviations. The automation capability of the inspection methods makes 3D metrology with CT economical for series inspections and release testing.

Messtechnik

Additive Manufacturing

The mechanical properties and fatigue strength of additively manufactured structures are strongly influenced by porosity and internal defects. Industrial X-ray computed tomography allows quantitative characterization of material defects. With these results, load capacities of materials or components can be determined.

Electronic Components

The high resolution of industrial computed tomography (iCT) enables detailed characterization of solder joints, clamping contacts or material defects in electronic components. The non-destructive nature of iCT scans can be used to quantitatively assess quality before and after lifetime testing. 

Assembly Analysis

Internal structures and hidden defects can be detected, inspected, and analyzed, while the component remains fully assembled. This opens up new possibilities in product development and quality assurance. It gives the developer a new set of tools for more efficient and technology-driven product development.

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The high strength of fiber reinforced concrete is achieved by the addition of glass fibers and a low porosity. Computed tomography enables the quantitative characterization of porosity and fiber orientation in the material. Based on these findings, concrete quality can be controlled and development loops accelerated.
