High-performance hardware and intelligent measurement software enable coordinate measuring machines with computed tomography to achieve ever higher accuracies and measuring speeds. This means that industrial computed tomography can now also be used for fast 3D measurements close to production and statistical process control (SPC) in addition to applications in the laboratory and the measuring room. Unlike other sensors, the complete three-dimensional workpiece volume, including undercuts and internal geometries, is always available as a measurement result at the touch of a button.
Sensor principle
X-ray tomographic
Measuring range
Max. Workpiece dimensions D = 120 mm / L = 93 mm to D = 500 mm / L = 1010 mm (depending on the aspect ratio of the workpieces)

Functionality
The radiation emitted by the X-ray tube a) produces X-ray images of the workpiece b) on the detector c). A virtual workpiece volume is reconstructed from the X-ray images taken in different rotational positions.
