New TomoScope^® 200

- Application Specific Configuration of Coordinate Measuring Machines with Computer Tomography

The integration of computer tomography in Werth multisensor coordinate measuring technology provides systems that can measure both complex workpieces and micro components rapidly and precisely. Application experience has shown that these systems have significant cost saving potential. At the Control trade show in Stuttgart, Werth is presenting the next generation of the TomoScope 200, which first became available in 2005. Various expansion stages for the machine allow optimal adaptation to any requirements:

• Basic coordinate measuring machine with tomography sensor, based on proven software and machine components, traceable to the standard of length of the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB),

• Optionally, raster tomography can be used to measure small features, even on large components, with high resolution

• Expansion of possibilities of applications with multisensors with the addition of tactile or optical sensors, such as the Werth Fiber Probe or Werth Laser Sensors, provides:
  
  
  • Measurements of workpieces made from a combination of materials (e.g., steel interior, plastic exterior)
  
  
  • Reduction of measurement deviation in tomography to a few microns, using Werth AutoCorrection (patent pending) by considering the real workpiece properties in the reconstruction  process,
  
  
  • Complete measurement with tomography, and additional measurement of functional dimensions with high precision sensors in one setup and in one coordinate system.
