Coordinate Measuring Machine with CT Sensors
September 1, 2016
Based on the TomoScope HV series, Werth Messtechnik GmbH has introduced the TomoQuick HV. With intelligent software algorithms and powerful machine hardware, this coordinate measuring machine with CT sensors now offers two different operating modes.
In standard mode, the computed tomography system generates precision measurement data analogous to machines typically used in measurement labs. In high-speed mode, the machine can be used as a fully integrated and automated solution in a production line to inspect components for completeness or cavities. Depending on the requirements for measurement uncertainty and resolution, a complete workpiece can be captured in just a few minutes. The multitasking capabilities of the WinWerth software help to ensure short cycle times. While the machine performs its scan, WinWerth reconstructs the 3-D data in parallel.
Depending on the application, the machine can use either 225, 300 or 450 kV X-ray tubes. These X-ray tubes make it possible to scan even relatively large metal parts. With the part changer integrated completely in the measuring machine, many parts can be placed on pallets and checked automatically without any operator intervention. WinWerth also allows several components to be measured in a single scan. The point clouds of the stacked components, for example, are automatically separated by WinWerth. These steps allow measurement times in the range of a few minutes.
Another advantage of the integrated solution is the elimination of additional safety measures for external robots or for radiation protection during the loading process. External handling systems can also be integrated upon request. Temperature compensation for use in a manufacturing environment is already integrated.
