Advantages of Metrotomography
Metrotomography has greatly expanded how ZEISS Metrology Services can assist you. Choose any of the below links to see how we can make the invisible, visible.
Assembled parts are checked for function and fit. In just one scan you can see whether welded, soldered, glued or riveted joints, are really flawless. It is also possible to visualize the seal between two mating surfaces and determine potential leak paths.
Deviations from the CAD model or master part are visualized with a chromatic map. This is done by super imposing the measured data and then computing the difference between the CAD and scanned data. The same analysis can be applied between two measured assemblies.
X-ray technology provides completely novel insights to the invisible. You can capture, analyze, measure, and inspect internal structures quickly and non-destructively. You can detect cavities, pores, cracks and other defects quickly and easily.
Reverse engineering is an important step to extract the design data from a finished component (CAD model). The component first needs to be scanned. Next, the point clouds (all ASCII formats) or meshes (STL data) are imported into a custom designed software. The point clouds or meshes (STL data) can be processed there thanks to a variety of effective functions. In just a few steps, you will have a watertight CAD model that can be exported to standard CAD formats.
Quality assurance for your parts should ideally be as comprehensive as possible and should be performed immediately after its manufacture in the plastic injection mold. Otherwise, defects are only identified after your part has been installed, leading to high subsequent costs because the entire safety-relevant module must be exchanged. In a worst-case scenario, this defect can impair safety.
Regular random sampling guarantees the quality of the production process because, for financial and technical reasons, it is not possible to inspect every single part. Defined component dimensions are captured regularly and deviations are monitored exactly overtime. Statistical analysis enables the process to be stopped at the ideal moment as well as the early identification of gradual deterioration in the process. The shape of the value progression also provides information about potential defect causes.
With a ZEISS METROTOM, all dimensions to be captured within the scope of process control can be inspected with just a single scan. It is even possible to insert multiple components into the CT system at once and inspect them. Depending on the component size, a complete shot is also possible. Moreover, additional dimensions can be inspected at any time using the voxel data generated to perform supplementary analyses. If necessary, a color-coded display of the nominal/actual comparison provides an overview of the dimensional accuracy of the entire component.

CT allows for non-destructive imaging of electronic components, providing a new avenue for failure analysis and quality control. Electronic defects can be viewed and measured, providing invaluable insights on manufacturing processes and common failure points.
Geometries, shrinkage holes or internal structures and assemblies can be analyzed precisely. Even the smallest defects become visible through individual sectional images and can be automatically evaluated according to various criteria. You can also load volume data of several components into a project, perform a trend analysis and compare the analysis with CAD data.
With ZEISS CALYPSO, you will measure standard geometries easily, quickly and reliably. A single mouse click on the required characteristics is all that is needed for programming. In combination with measuring machines and sensors from ZEISS, you receive a high-performance system from a single source. Thanks to a large number of options, ZEISS CALYPSO also offers the right tools for special requirements.
Now you do not have to be a software expert to create insightful reports: ZEISS PiWeb is a scalable reporting and statistical analysis software that helps you to transform measurement data into meaningful results.
To examine things, to get to the bottom of them, to get to their core – this desire has always driven science, research, and development. X-ray technology from ZEISS has provided perfect insights for years in these and other areas. When it comes to quality and process control, it reveals what would otherwise remain hidden from even the most watchful of eyes – without destroying the part.
Measurement results with high accuracy are particularly important for quality assurance. Bridge coordinate measuring machines from ZEISS have a precise probe system that convinces with high measuring speed. The various solutions and systems can be tailored directly to individual requirements.
ZEISS O-INSPECT multi-sensor measuring machines enable to optimally measure each characteristic in compliance with ISO-10360 - optically or by contact.
Your advantages:
ZEISS CMM systems deliver the most accurate data available for when high accuracy measurement results are particularly important for quality assurance. Our trained applications engineers are available across the country to program and measure your most difficult assemblies using
ZEISS Calypso and PiWeb software.
Be it spiral-toothed bevel gears, slanted-tooth cylindrical gears, worm profiles or rotors, we can measure all standard gear types with an external diameter of up to three meters and evaluate it in line with the standards. The measuring solution is based on the given application. This can be a measurement with or without a rotary table and star stylus system, or a flat measurement with a fan stylus system.
These components create challenges such as specific industry-mandated inspection protocols, safety concerns, complex design geometries and tight tolerances. Years of work with OEMS and manufacturers allowed us to develop hardware, software and inspection protocols to meet these requirements.
We can report on blade thickness at any point of the nominal profile, torsion/twist angle, blade length parallel to the chord line, stacking point, center of gravity, mean line, form error of the profile, pitch between blades, throat distance between blades and platforms, maximum length and thickness, corner radius and thickness of the leading and trailing edge.
