Carl Zeiss participates in the day ‘clúster of materials advanced' with his team Metrotom

Carl Zeiss IMT participated in the day ‘Clúster of materials advanced, competitiveness for the company' celebrated in the headquarters of ACC1Or in Barcelona the past month of March. This meeting, headed to technology centres, universities, multinationals and innovative companies, gathered to more than 60 people of the industry of Catalonia. Carl Zeiss was represented by Holger Schubmehl, Manager regional of sales of the company and attendant to offer the report on the team of industrial metrology Metrotom of the German signature. The computerized industrial tomography is conquering new fields of applications with solutions very productive. At present it exists the possibility of digitalizar entirely a piece and to be able to analyse of this form the interior and the outside without need to destroy it. The team Metrotom, developed by Carl Zeiss, combines the metrology and the tomography llevar measurements of high precision. The Metrotom 1500 develops for a wide variety of applications, so much in the external measurement like intern.

The pieces manufactured from the plastic, ceramic, compound materials, as well as magnesium, aluminium and steel can measure dimensionalmente, and evaluate with a high efficiency. The Metrotom opens like this new unknown possibilities until the moment in the world of the industrial metrology. The method of the MetroTomografía bases in the technology of X-rays, that is to say, electromagnetic rays that cross the object and generate a two-dimensional image in a scale of grey of the piece scanned. A technology that provides an useful life practically boundless, doing of the Metrotom a profitable economic investment. His cabin fulfils all the requirements of a machine with complete protection, by what there is not risk of exhibition neither for the surroundings, neither for the operario.

With this method of measurement, the object turns 360º around his own axis, creating an image in 3D of all the volume of the piece. What more detailed is the representation, more precise is the technical evaluation. Any of the advantages is the reduction of the cycles of manufacture of the product thanks to a fast and precise analysis, as well as the comprobación no destructive of internal geometries up to now inaccessible or the possibility to realise an evaluation out of the machine.

With the method of MetroTomografía developed by Carl Zeiss generates a volumetric model that allows to realise a first visual control. Like this it makes possible the perfect evaluation of the surface. With the comparison of geometries and the presentation of the cut, the proof metrológica offers a quality of optimum surface. Another of the advantages that do only to this model of measurement is that it offers the possibility to modify of fast form the piece even in full phase of manufacture and a continuous control of the production until the final phase of creation of the prototype.
