high-energy industrial computed tomography

Defect Analysis

• Assessment of internal discontinuities in accordance with acceptability specifications and issuance of Accept / Reject judgment
• Classification of discontinuities in terms of extension in the 3 dimensions, type and position with respect to the CAD of the component
• Definition of the total volume occupied by the discontinuities in relation to the total volume of the component with the application of specific calculation modules “Porosity”.
• Import of the mathematical models of the component and verification of the removability of the discontinuities detected during the machining phase for In-Process and Cost Saving controls

Dimensional Analysis

• Deviations from CAD, both of internal features (not accessible with traditional controls) and external features
• Wall thickness analysis for the detection of thicknesses, with easy identification of critical areas thanks to the application of chromatic scales
• Reverse Engeenering: in the dimensional field CT finds many applications in recreating CAD (through STL extraction) starting from the physical component when the drawing is no longer available.

This application is functional to all technologies, both classic, in the case of components whose drawings are only available in paper format, and innovative such as Additive Manufacturing, where there may be a need to manufacture a component produced with “standard” methodologies by means of 3D printing.

First Article Inspection

The purpose of the first product validation is to give objective evidence that drawings, dimensions and all design specifications are verified and classified with the intent to bring out any non-conformities in order to avoid the presence of the same in the series production.  The tomographic control, thanks to both defectological and dimensional applications and to the possibility of detecting both internal characteristics (ducts, blind holes, internal circuits), allows a precise and reliable FAI characterization.
