ZEISS Industrial CT

ZEISS METROTOM 800 225 kV

Industrial computed tomography for non-destructive inspection of internal structures, defects, assemblies and dimensions. The METROTOM 800 225 kV is designed for medium-sized components and materials such as plastics, light alloys and electronics.

Industrial CT Inspection

See inside components without cutting them open.

Conventional inspection methods can be limited when critical features sit inside a component. Internal channels, cavities, wall thickness, porosity and hidden interfaces may be difficult to access from the outside.

Industrial computed tomography uses X-ray projections to create a three-dimensional representation of a component, allowing internal and external structures to be evaluated from the same volumetric dataset.

The ZEISS METROTOM 800 225 kV is positioned for CT inspection applications involving plastics, electronics, light alloys and other suitable medium-density components.

Inspect hidden geometry without destructive sectioning. CT inspection can reveal internal structures, defects, wall-thickness conditions and assembly relationships that may not be visible through conventional surface measurement alone.
Key Capabilities

A complete view of the component.

CT inspection provides volumetric information that can support internal inspection, dimensional evaluation and defect analysis within the same workflow.

01

Internal Inspection

Examine cavities, channels, bores and enclosed structures without physically sectioning the component.

02

Defect & Porosity Analysis

Investigate internal voids, porosity and other material-related anomalies within the scanned volume.

03

Dimensional Inspection

Evaluate internal and external geometry from reconstructed three-dimensional CT data.

04

Assembly Inspection

Inspect internal relationships and component positioning without dismantling suitable assemblies.

05

Plastics & Light Alloys

Suitable for applications involving plastics, electronics, light alloys and other appropriate components.

06

Non-Destructive Testing

Preserve the inspected component while obtaining information about its internal and external structure.

CT Inspection

Move from surface inspection to volumetric understanding.

The value of industrial CT is the ability to inspect internal and external structures using three-dimensional volumetric data.

This can be particularly useful when the inspection objective involves hidden features that cannot be reached with conventional probes or optical systems.

✓
Hidden internal features Investigate channels, cavities, bores and other enclosed structures.
✓
Wall thickness Examine material thickness through internal and external surfaces.
✓
Defects and porosity Locate suitable internal voids and material anomalies within the scanned volume.
✓
Assembly relationships Inspect suitable assemblies without dismantling them before scanning.

Applications

CT inspection for complex components and assemblies.

The METROTOM 800 225 kV supports inspection applications where internal visibility, defect analysis and dimensional information need to be considered together.

Plastics

Plastic Component Inspection

Inspect internal geometry, wall thickness, cavities and hidden defects in suitable plastic components without destructive sectioning.

Electronics

Electronics Inspection

Investigate internal structures and suitable electronic assemblies where destructive inspection or disassembly is undesirable.

Light Alloys

Light-Alloy Component Inspection

Examine internal structures, cavities, porosity and suitable dimensional characteristics in light-alloy components.

Additive Manufacturing

Additively Manufactured Parts

Inspect suitable complex internal geometries, enclosed structures and internal defects in additively manufactured components.

CT Inspection Workflow

From X-ray acquisition to inspection data.

A CT workflow converts X-ray projections into volumetric information that can then be evaluated against the inspection requirement.

01

Component Setup

Position the component according to the required inspection volume and measurement objective.

02

X-Ray Acquisition

Capture X-ray projections around the component for volumetric reconstruction.

03

Volume Reconstruction

Reconstruct the captured data into a three-dimensional representation of the component.

04

Inspection & Evaluation

Evaluate the relevant geometry, internal structures, defects, porosity or wall-thickness conditions.

Inspection Objectives

One CT dataset can answer multiple inspection questions.

CT becomes particularly useful when several internal and external characteristics need to be investigated from the same component.

Internal Geometry Examine channels, cavities, bores and enclosed features that are difficult to access physically.
Wall Thickness Investigate material thickness through internal and external surfaces within the CT dataset.
Porosity Identify and investigate suitable internal voids and porosity within the scanned component.
Assembly Inspection Check suitable internal component relationships and positioning without dismantling the assembly.
Dimensional Inspection Use reconstructed volume data for suitable dimensional inspection requirements.
Non-Destructive Testing Investigate internal conditions while preserving the inspected component.
Other Inspection Technologies

Choose the inspection technology around the part.

CT is particularly useful when internal geometry and hidden structures are part of the inspection requirement. For accessible external surfaces, 3D scanning may provide a different approach.
