Technical criteria

How to choose an industrial computed tomography system.

Industrial CT is sized around part, material and objective: defect analysis, metrology or both. These are the parameters PITECH evaluates to guide the most suitable system.

Part size and measurement volume

Component size and weight drive the manipulator, achievable magnification and voxel size: small parts allow high resolution, large parts require different energies and geometries.

Energy and penetration

Material and thickness determine the source energy (kV/MeV) needed to penetrate the part: dense metals and high thicknesses require higher energy than plastics or composites.

Resolution and voxel size

Detectability of internal defects (porosity, inclusions, cracks) and metrological accuracy depend on voxel size, focal spot and detector: defining the minimum defect to detect is essential.

Defect analysis vs metrology

CT serves both internal defect analysis (casting porosity, additive manufacturing) and dimensional metrology with CAD comparison: objectives drive the required software and accuracy.

Software and reporting

Porosity analysis, wall thickness, nominal/actual comparison and reporting are an integral part of the value: software affects the result as much as the hardware.

Throughput and integration

Scan times, load automation and integration into the quality flow determine real productivity: lab, quality control or line impose different choices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions on industrial computed tomography

What is industrial CT used for?

It inspects the inside of a component non-destructively: detecting porosity, inclusions and cracks, verifying assemblies and performing 3D dimensional metrology with CAD comparison.

What resolution can I achieve?

It depends on part size, energy, focal spot and detector: small parts allow finer voxels and more detail. The minimum defect to detect drives the configuration.

Is CT used for castings and additive manufacturing?

Yes. It is widely used for casting porosity and for qualifying additive manufacturing parts, where internal defects are otherwise not visible.

CT for defects only, or also for measurement?

Both: internal defect analysis and dimensional metrology. Objectives define software, accuracy and system type.

How do I request an evaluation?

State material, part dimensions, defects or measurements of interest and volumes. PITECH guides the most suitable CT configuration. Use the form below or WhatsApp.
