ZEISS introduces new computed tomography system with ZEISS METROTOM 1

The new simplicity of non-destructive inspection of components
– Getting started with complex CT technology is now extremely easy with ZEISS METROTOM 1
– ZEISS METROTOM 1 enables a smooth end-to-end workflow, from the set-up of the scan to the
analysis with GOM Volume Inspect software
– ZEISS METROTOM 1 is a compact device that easily fits into every measurement area
– ZEISS METROTOM 1 requires only minimal maintenance with low overheads

With ZEISS METROTOM 1, ZEISS is introducing an entry-level solution for the non-destructive inspection
of parts. This compact computed tomography system delivers precise results, but is nevertheless easy to
operate.
Many companies have already come to value the advantages of non-destructive inspection. However,
small- and medium-sized companies “often view computed tomography (CT) as being too complex,” said
Dr. Petra Schmidt, Head of Field of Business X-ray at ZEISS.
With the computed tomography system ZEISS METROTOM 1, ZEISS has now developed an entry-level
solution that is even simpler to operate. Simply place the parts to be inspected in the system, press the
button, and analyse the measurement results. “That’s how simple it is for users of this new CT system,”
said Schmidt. As a result, little time is required to learn how to use the machine.
From capturing 3D volume data to analysing it, the GOM Volume Inspect software guarantees users easy
operation of the new computed tomography system – matching perfectly with the hardware. The latest
software version is equipped with many more volume functions, meaning there is no need to invest in
additional software for a detailed analysis of the measurement data.
Another advantage of this new product: “As the device only requires minimal maintenance, the operating
costs are low, which means that the device pays for itself even faster,” said Schmidt. The compact
machine, which is 175 centimeters wide and 87 centimeters deep and “should fit in every metrology area,”
can be used to measure small- to medium-sized parts made of plastic or light metal, such as connectors,
plastic caps or aluminum castings.
Given these benefits, Schmidt is convinced that “with ZEISS METROTOM 1, we have developed a unique
product that makes it so easy for users to benefit from non-destructive inspection. In that sense, it has the
potential to make the advantages of computed tomography available to many more customers and, thus,
contributing to their success.”
