ZEISS METROTOM 1
The ZEISS METROTOM 1 is designed to capture precise 3D data without the need for part preparation. Utilizing advanced computed tomography (CT) technology, it allows you to scan parts non-destructively and explore their internal features.
With the ability to measure, analyse, and inspect hidden defects and internal structures, the METROTOM 1, in combination with ZEISS Inspect software, takes your quality control process to a whole new level of simplicity and efficiency. Perfect for product design, 3D print defect detection, medical devices, tool and mould making.
A compact and easy-to-operate system to x-ray your parts
The simple-to-operate system enables various users to start the measuring process and capture precise data. Characterized by its compact dimensions, METROTOM 1 fits easily into your space. Get started with your inhouse measurements and inspections in just one step by pushing the button. To keep your maintenance low, the smart and compact solution comes with a closed x-ray tube.
The ZEISS METROTOM 1 CT scanner includes:
- Calibration object – For a recalibration of the system anytime – no on-site service required.
- Active temperature control – To make sure system and part are always at the same stable temperature.
- Continuous scan mode – A continuous rotation of the part will improve measurement times significantly.
- Operation station – The package contains a powerful PC for system operation, reconstruction and inspection.
- A measuring volume of 165 x 140 mm – which can be fine tuned to optimize scanning times.
- ZEISS Inspect – A continuous software from measurement to inspection reports.
- 2.5k detector developed by ZEISS – ZEISS METROTOM 1 comes with a 2.5k x 2.5k detector.
- 160 kV X-ray source – For measurements of plastic parts and light weight metals.
- Temperature controlled cabinet – Fully protected and secure air conditioning.
- 360 Degree Automatic Rotation Table – 5kg part capacity
Multiple part scanning
Measuring multiple parts at the same time is one of the most efficient features of METROTOM 1. The formula is simple: high quantities with optimum use of the measuring volume. The result: faster scanning time per part without compromising on quality. ZEISS INSPECT automatically separates and evaluates the individual parts so that results are quickly available as a report.
Check internal structures and defects
The METROTOM 1 with ZEISS INSPECT guides you step-by-step through the measurement process. With volume visualization and inspection of your scan data, you can discover all dimensions of your parts, even the hidden ones. By scanning all internal and external structures, parts can be easily reversed.
Easy and efficient. With just one scan. METROTOM 1 supports you with:
- 3D scanning of small to medium components
- Accurate measurement
- Quality inspection and assurance
- Deep analysis of rejects
- Checking components against their CAD
ZEISS METROTOM 1 3D Scanner Benefits
ZEISS METROTOM 1 is your fast way forward: Capture precise 3D data without any part preparation. Powered with computed tomography technology, you can scan parts non-destructively and look inside. Measure, analyze and inspect hidden defects and inner structures. In combination with the software ZEISS INSPECT, it reaches a new dimension to simplify your quality control
A compact and easy-to-operate system to capture the data for your tasks
The simple-to-operate system enables various users to start the measuring process and capture precise data. Characterized by its compact dimensions, METROTOM 1 fits easily into your space. Get started with your inhouse measurements and inspections in just one step by pushing the button. To keep your maintenance low, the smart and compact solution comes with a closed x-ray tube.
Capture 3D data without part preparation
With METROTOM 1 you can inspect internal structures and defects using non-destructive scanning. No part preparation is needed before starting the measurement process. While you scan the next part, you can inspect or reverse engineer the previous one.
A smart all-in-one concept
Voltage, power, exposure time and number of steps are some of the important measurement parameters for computed tomography (CT).
Operated with ZEISS INSPECT, ZEISS METROTOM 1 comes with an automated parameter determination for these values. The software provides you with optimal starting values to reduce the complexity of setting up your scan. METROTOM 1 relies on simple operation, fast acquisition, and intuitive evaluation functions. An all-in-one concept you can rely on.
Active temperature balancing for precise results
METROTOM 1 is developed for many conditions. In addition to its robust design, it is also protected against internal temperature fluctuations. The active cooling system keeps your system running: It ensures the exact same temperature inside and outside of the system to prevent any thermal expansion of your parts. METROTOM 1 is a stable, heavy-duty system filled with cutting-edge technology.
