speed|scan

GE’s speed|scan atlineCT is a new high-speed computed tomographysystem for 3D mass production process control.

Advanced medical GE gantry based computed tomography (CT) provides technology that has been established over a period of nearly four decades. With GE’s new industrial speed|scan CT system, this proven technology is now going to be also available for high-speed at line process control. The sample is being transported through the tomograph and scanned within 10-90 seconds for a typical casting. While the next part is loaded, the reconstructed CT data is automatically evaluated. Since this offers inspection times > 200 x faster than conventional industrial CT, this technology opens up a lot of new applications for inline process controls, which have in the past been out of reach of conventional industrial CT.

Applications

3D Computed Tomography

before-after-machining

Industrial X-ray 3D computed tomography (micro ct and nano ct) is used for the inspection and three-dimensional measurement of e.g. metal and plastic castings, composites, sintered materials ad ceramics. Materials distribution, voids and cracks are visualized three-dimensionally at microscopic resolution.

 

Casting & Welding

control-arm-defects-color

Radiographic non-destructive testing is used to detect flaws in castings and welds. The combination of microfocus X-ray technology and industrial X-ray computed tomography (micro CT) enables defect detectability in the micrometer range and provides three-dimensional images of low-contrast defects.

Metrology

zylinderkopf-CT3-merkmale
Reproducible 3D metrology with X-ray is the only technique allowing to non-destructively measure the interior of complex objects. By contrast with conventional tactile coordinate measurement technique, a computed tomography scan of an object acquires all surface points simultaneously – including all hidden features like undercuts which are not accessible non-destructively using other methods of measurement. In addition to 2D wall thickness measurements, the CT volume data can be quickly and easily compared with CAD data, for example, in order to analyze the complete component to ensure it complies with all specified dimensions.
