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.
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
