The Metris industrial X-ray and CT inspection system is a exible
solution that facilitates the detection of material defects porosity,
cracks and inclusions as well as assembly and interconnectivity issues.
It is the ideal solution to perform rst-part inspection and
process control across diverse manufacturing industries, including
automotive, aerospace, medical, pharmaceutical and plastics.
Get the inside picture of complex industrial
parts, by literally looking into the internal
structure. Then use CT capability to qualify
and quantify any inner or outer dimension,
all in a smooth, non-destructive process.
Industrial X-ray and CT inspection
Insight into the inside
X-ray concept
X-ray technology provides a detailed view inside parts. The
radiation is generated by a micro-focus source and transmitted
through the sample. A digital at panel detector is used to capture
patterns of X-rays that pass through a specimen, showing different
shades of gray depending on material and geometry. Thicker or
denser material such as iron, copper and lead lead to darker
areas than thin or light materials such as plastic, paper or air.
Flexibility combined in a single system: X-ray for quick visual
inspection, CT for in-depth analysis
High quality images in a short time
Fast operation with interactive joystick navigation
High-resolution digital imaging and processing
Safe systemthat does not require special precautions or badges
Small footprint for easy installation
AT THE GLANCE
Moving the sample closer to the X-ray source increases the magnication of the
resulting image
The component is rotated around its axis to result in full 3D image
Computed Tomography (CT)
CT offers that extra dimension to X-ray technology. Based on a
large number of X-ray images captured around a single axis of
rotation, CT reconstructs an accurate 3D volume dataset that
represents the internal structure of your sample. Viewed as slices
in any orientation or as a 3D scene, the inner part is visualized and
enables you to explore all the details of the object.
X-ray: Different materials create distinctive radiation patterns
CT reconstruction and analysis of a diesel injector
component
CT SCANNING ENABLES TO:
Verify complex internal structures
Isolate and inspect included components
Measure dimensions without sectioning the sample
Automatically detect and measure internal voids / volumes
Strip external surfaces from view to ease
