Wenzel launches non-contact CT scanning technology

Wenzel's computed tomography workstation for industrial applications – exaCT - supports internal and external contactless 3D inspection.

This enables non-destructive and timesaving inspection for many industry processes such as quality control, test engineering and reverse engineering. Ideal for the inspection and measurement of small and medium parts, manufactured from plastics, composites, ceramics, aluminium or magnesium, also planned for the future are systems for larger parts. The control software for optimal acquisition of projections, and the reconstruction software for the exact evaluation of 3D voxel data are new developments. Data analysis is realized with the QUARTIS software from WENZEL Metromec and PointMaster from WENZEL Knotenpunkt. PointMaster has particular strength in reverse engineering, for the correction of tool shapes and for the site-specific analysis against CAD models. Accurate free-form surfaces can be generated and processed from CT data. Interfaces to the major capturing software packages such as VGStudio MAX 2.0 are available.
