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.

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
  • Checking components against their CAD

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.

Features

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.

Highly accurate measurement results

Every METROTOM 1 is checked for accuracy – during production and additionally after the on-site installation. The accuracy check is done using a calibrated and DAkkS-certified acceptance artifact. The scanner can be recalibrated by you at any time using the calibration object on site.

Digitally guided by ZEISS INSPECT for optimal results

METROTOM 1 operates with ZEISS INSPECT, the all-in-one, user-centered software solution and established standard in 3D metrology. Powerful functions like volume visualization and inspection, dimensional metrology, trend analyses and comparisons, defect detection and inspection make it the perfect tool to use the capabilities of the system.

Different applications have different requirements

Measure everything easily within a measuring volume of 165 x 140 mm. The measuring volume can be fine-tuned digitally. At the same time, you can adjust the resolution to speed up your process resulting in fast scanning times according to your needs.
