Nondestructive Testing
The slice images and 3D volume studies generated from industrial computed tomography help manufacturers improve processes; researchers study microstructures‚ investigators solve cases‚ and scientists unlock the secrets of life on earth and other planets.
BIR develops and manufactures industrial CT systems for a broad range of nondestructive testing and flaw detection applications. BIR ACTIS™ systems not only produce CT images but also provide image analysis tools for measuring wall thickness‚ voids‚ cracks and other internal character-istics of the scanned object. ACTIS file formats are also compatible with a growing list of advanced software applications that offer even greater levels of flaw quantification and internal structural analysis. |
Metrology
X-ray computed tomography is the only nondestructive means of obtaining internal geometric surface data. CT has become widely accepted for metrology applications in industries where the manufactured part contains complex internal geometry and destructive techniques are either cost prohibitive or impractical. Aluminum castings for automotive and aerospace applications are a prime example. They contain complex internal structures and sectioning can often change the internal geometry. In other cases the parts are quite costly and destructive techniques are often avoided.
3D CT volume datasets can be imported into a growing list of high-powered software applications that are changing the way products are designed and manufactured.
