In summary

We make the invisible visible for you - hidden defects inside are determined. The method is suitable for all component sizes within the maximum measurement volume.

"Your quality improvement is the focus, so you can operate in a way that conserves resources."

This is how it works

Based on modern testing and measuring technology, extremely sharp images of your component are created via computer tomography. These provide valuable information for product testing. The display and evaluation of the results is carried out via 2D X-ray images, 2D sectional views or 3D images. Irregularities can be visualized as color-coded deviation representations and provide you with quick information as to whether the inspected part is usable. 

In practice

With the help of our defect analysis, the consequences of long-term use can be determined, because the increasing age of your components is also accompanied by geometric changes. This is precisely why it is important to examine them regularly. We use scans to check components in use. For example, we can quickly detect an internal crack in the component, even if it is not visible from the outside.

Also a popular method for inspecting reclaimed components or assemblies. Among other things, it is possible to determine at an early stage whether a repair is possible at all and whether it makes sense. Based on the scan results, you can quickly decide whether the component in question should be discarded and completely replaced.
