The Metrotom 1 is a Metrology grade CT scanner that is provided by Zeiss and Central Scanning our hands on Metrology partners with Zeiss. We both sell the system and will deliver and train you on the system. CT scanning is a process of using X-rays to take 2D images. X-rays allow us to see an image with the density across the material, and then the part will turn inside the CT scanner. Taking multiple shots. Creating lots of 2D images as the part rotates. This allows us to then reconstruct the 3D shape of the part. Both the outside and insides of outline of sight, by comparing the different densities across the images, making us a 3D model known as a volume, which we can then process as a mesh. And from here we can start inspecting it both visually and physically, measuring it against drawing and inspection standards. So the Metrotom 1 is able to scan in a 165 by 140 millimetre area. It also has a higher resolution of 80 by 80, with a 32 micron resolution or a 64 micron resolution. It's Metrology grade, meaning it's got a certified accuracy of down to five microns plus length of the part divided by a hundred. And it's able to see inside parts and outside parts without having to cut them or destructively test them. The scanner typically takes anywhere between about 15 to 25 minutes for most parts, especially if they're plastic. But if they're metal parts, they can take upwards of more around an hour to two hours. The amount of parts you can put in one go is dependent on the volume of the area. So our volume is 165 millimetres by 140, meaning as long as we can fit all of our parts in there and keep them still, we can scan them. This means if I've got a big part, I could only probably scan one. But if I've got lots of small plastic parts I could scan maybe 40 or 50 all at once. Any material can work in there, It's basically around the density, so it's a bit more to do with the thickness. So typically we say it can scan up to aluminium parts. It's definitely can scan all plastic parts when it comes to more dense materials like steel, you're looking at only being able to scan stuff that’s small with only a couple millimetres of wall thickness, but it's kind of test it as you go. Mostly plastics, definitely aluminium. So the main difference is to do with the word Metro. So Metro stands for Metrology which means it has metro tomograph which is the type of X-ray being used. This is effectively a certified accredited accuracy. So it's certified under VDI and VD standard from Germany uses DACS certified sphere artifacts to be scanning, which means when we scan anything, we actually have an accuracy of our measurement, which is five microns plus the length of the part divided by 100. While most other scanners are only for visual inspection, so you can't actually measure the data that you capture. So the biggest improvement is we don't need to rely on visual line of sight because it's using x rays we can see into parts. This means that we have cavities, holes and so on, we can see into them. We can also outline defects. There's things like voids or gaps inside parts that can cause structural failure. And all of this can be done without having to cut or destroy the part. The other side is we can scan lots of objects all at once if they're small enough, so we don't have to just be scanning one thing at a time. So Zeiss X-ray is a pivotal part of our system. It comes with the hardware itself, and it basically allows us to not only process the scan data and make it into STL’s or meshes, but also allows us to inspect it because it's being a Zeiss inspect software. This means we can set up reproducible templates and reports for inspection and quality control. Checking against the dimensions, the drawings, the GD and T, and then inspect our parts in batch line processing so that we can check if they pass the quality control. Central Scanning do offer training for sales of this equipment. We basically offer classroom style training, which will basically train you on the acquisition, how to use the scanner, how to capture data, how to scan parts. We also offer e-learning material as well, both through the YouTube and also through paid e-learning content that you can get certified on. So we offer service scanning. We actually have offered service scanning for CT scanning data for a while, so we’re quite experienced with it. We can basically ask you to send your parts along with the drawings and the details on what you want us to measure as well. And we can basically CT scan them, check them for voids, check them for measurements, provide you with inspection reports. We can do batch line inspection and typically it’s based around your parts and how many you want us to scan.
