Zeiss says its Metrotom1 is a compact, easy-to-use, entry-level computed tomography (CT) system for nondestructive, accurate parts . The device is said to enable a smooth end-to-end workflow, from the setup of the scan to the analysis with GOM Volume Inspect software.
According to the company, little time is required to learn how to use the machine. Users can place the parts to be inspected in the system, press the button and analyze the measurement results.
The GOM Volume Inspect software is also designed to offer users easy operation of the CT system — from capturing 3D volume data to analyzing it. Also, the latest version is equipped with a variety of volume functions, thereby negating the need to invest in additional analysis software.
The company says the device offers low maintenance and operation costs. The compact machine is 175-cm wide by 87-cm deep, making it well suited to fit in most laboratories. It can be used to measure small- to medium-sized parts made of plastic or light metal, such as connectors, plastic caps or aluminum castings.
