Description

TomoScope S

Coordinate Measuring Machine with Tomography Sensor (Compact Design)

Features

Complete, Precise, Non-Destructive Measurement

Ever since Werth presented the first X-ray tomography machine developed especially for coordinate measuring technology, with optional multisensor systems, the machines in the Werth TomoScope® series have enabled the complete, precise, and non-destructive measurement of workpieces. This technology minimizes first article inspection times for rapid product validation, thus reducing development costs. Special measurement methods also make it possible to monitor processes with high throughput due to short measurement times.

CMM Technology Inside

Temperature compensation helps support stable measuring results.

Pre-calibrated magnifications support repeatable CT measurements.

Fully-Automatic Measurement

Automatic measurement without manual influence on the measuring results.

Artifact Correction

Integrated artifact correction with accuracy around 2 µm − 20 µm depending on component material and geometry.

Principle

Principle

X-ray images of the workpiece are taken at various rotated positions. With suitable mathematical methods, they can be used to calculate a complete, high-resolution volumetric model. A patented subvoxeling process determines the measurement points at the material boundaries.

3D Comparison

The 3D point cloud can be compared directly with the 3D CAD model, imported for example in IGES or STEP format. Each point is automatically associated with the corresponding patch in the CAD model. WinWerth® measuring software generates a color-coded deviation plot for each measurement point in comparison with the specified CAD surface.

3D Comparison
Dimensional Measurements

Dimensional Measurements

The points associated with a geometrical feature are selected for analysis, either using automatic segmentation or simply by clicking on the CAD model (patent). WinWerth® calculates the corresponding standard geometrical features (line, cylinder, plane, etc.) and links them into dimensions, generating a measurement report on request. Using virtual planes, measurements can be performed in any cross section of the volume or point cloud (patent pending). Workpieces made of several different materials can be measured using this technique.

Machine Design

The design principle of the CT machines, based on proven components from Werth coordinate measuring machines, ensures stability and precision. All TomoScope® and TomoCheck® machines meet the requirements to be considered cabinet X-ray systems.

Machine Design
Precision in the Sub-Micron Range

Precision in the Sub-Micron Range

The CT measurements can be traced back to the internationally recognized length standard of the German National Metrology Institute (PTB – Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), using calibrated standards in accordance with VDI 2617 or VDI 2630, with a DAkkS calibration certificate available on request. CT measurements, e.g., on plastics, can be performed with measurement errors of a few micrometers. If precision in the sub-micron range is required for workpieces that are difficult to penetrate radiographically, multisensor systems can help reduce systematic measurement errors due to artifacts, using patented Werth Autocorrection.

Special Measurement Methods

Special measurement methods, such as OnTheFly CT, Eccentric CT (patent), Multi-ROI CT, Raster Tomography, and Dual-Spectra CT are available to increase the measuring speed or resolution, to expand the measurement range, and to measure workpieces made of multiple materials.

Special Measurement Methods

X-Ray CT Speeds Up First Article Inspection

The measurement time for first article inspection of a workpiece has been reduced from several days, using classical measurement techniques, to a few minutes with CT. Product development can thereby be sped up significantly, which increases cost-effectiveness. With extensive and precise information about the workpiece, mold corrections can be implemented in a fraction of the time.

WinWerth® Software

The operation of machines with a wide variety of sensors, but also the evaluation of volume data and point clouds are possible with WinWerth® in a unique combination. The Werth image processing software is based on 40 years of experience and is the foundation of probably the most powerful image processing sensors for coordinate measuring machines currently available. Optical distance sensors, conventional styluses in single-point or scanning mode, the Werth Fiber Probe®, X-ray computed tomography or machines with a combination of several sensors are all supported by the uniform concept. Measurement points, 2D images or volume data can also be conveniently evaluated in terms of geometrical characteristics or with part-to-part deviation analysis. PTB-certified evaluation algorithms ensure correct measurement results. All desired information is displayed in the graphic: CAD models with PMI data, voxel volumes, measurement point clouds, colour-coded deviation plots from 3D nominal-actual comparisons, video images, measurement and calculation elements as well as flags with nominal and actual values, tolerances and deviations. In order to meet the most diverse requirements, the software has a modular structure. Various machines can be operated, from simple measuring projectors to complex multi-axis coordinate measuring machines with multi-sensor systems or even X-ray tomography sensors.

WinWerth Software
Image Processing Measures almost by Itself

Image Processing Measures almost by Itself

The “intelligence” of the WinWerth® measurement software then takes over, for example, the exact determination of the object area to be captured, the selection of the geometrical element to be measured (e.g. straight line, circle, corner point) as well as the linking algorithms for determining geometrical characteristics such as distances, angles and diameters.

Measurement Points Distributed Automatically

Measurement points or scan lines are automatically distributed on the geometry elements to be measured, e.g. as circles, cylinder surface lines, stars or spirals, taking into account the necessary travel paths. In this way, the complete measurement sequence, including evaluation, is first created offline using the CAD model or online with the minimum number of points for the respective geometry element.

Measurement Points Distributed Automatically
Evaluating Images Perfectly

Evaluating Images Perfectly for Optics and Computer Tomography Scan

The evaluation is mainly realised by PC hardware and software. In a first processing step, the image can be improved with image filters (optimising contrast, smoothing surface disturbances). This enables reliable measurements even with difficult edges and rigid scanning in incident light.

Testing and Changing Made Easy

The feature tree in the WinWerth® user interface also controls the test and change mode, in which programmes can be run step-by-step and changes can be added. A text editor, available in parallel, allows experienced operators to directly enter or change DMIS programme code while teaching in programmes.

Testing and Changing Made Easy
CAD-Online and CAD-Offline

CAD-Online® and CAD-Offline®

Measurement programs can be generated both online and offline using 2D or 3D CAD models. The CAD models are imported in either STEP, native CAD or IGES format. In offline mode a sensor is selected and a patch or combination of several patches is selected on the CAD model. The software computes the necessary actions for the sensor and automatically generates the corresponding segment of the program. The graphic shows the simulated measurement sequence. In online mode the procedure is similar to the offline mode, but the coordinate measuring machine immediately performs each operational step so it can be observed live.
