Tomography in a Multisensor CMM
March 1, 2014
Werth Messtechnik has integrated X-ray computer tomography into a multisensor coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
The Werth TomoScope measuring machine uses X-ray tomography to perform rapid, non-destructive geometrical measurements of interiors and exteriors of complex components. The measured point clouds can be calibrated with high precision by using the additional integrated tactile or optical sensors.
"First article inspection is performed in a few minutes. Therefore, the ROI will be realized in a very short period," said a company spokesperson. "The traceability of measurement results is provided by a calibration according to CMM standards (ref. ISO 10360), which is unique for this kind of instrument. The gathered data can be easily exported to STL files for direct machine tool communication or directly imported to the WinWerth 3D CAD module for a graphical nominal-actual comparison in a deviation color plot display or measurement of constructed geometrical elements."
