WENZEL presents the Universal exaCT U Computer Tomography

09.05.17 - World premiere at the CONTROL show in Stuttgart: From May 9th to 12th, 2017, WENZEL presented the exaCT U industrial computer tomography system for the first time.

The exaCT U is used for the measurement and testing of components where 3D data of complex internal and external structures are required. With the new development, WENZEL is expanding its successful exaCT Series with a system that sets new standards in performance and measuring volume.

The exaCT U can be used universally and is designed in such a way that each customer can tailor his individual system with the appropriate X-ray source and detector. Sources of 135 - 450 kV and services for all requirements are configurable in the mobile variant of the machine. Radiation sources whose performance would not make sense in a transportable CT system are offered as stationary systems based on the basic device and they achieve unprecedented power and flexibility. Due to its very large measuring volume of 700 mm in height and 300 mm in diameter, the exaCT U allows the measurement and testing of large components with higher densities.

Intuitive user interface provides fast results
The innovative system design offers a new operating concept and an integrated workspace. Due to the intuitive user interface, precise measurement results can be generated after a short training period. The exaCT U is also smart as the system automatically optimizes the measurement parameters.

The CT control and reconstruction software is specially developed by WENZEL Volumetrik for industrial applications to ensure high precision and fast scanning times. The individual components are optimized and fine-tuned to each other, thus achieving the highest quality standard. The data acquisition software ensures the optimized control of the computer tomography with the reconstruction software guaranteeing the exact calculation of the volume data.

Automated measurement in the production line
The evaluation software of the exaCT U has a direct link to the proven WENZEL software products, Metrosoft QUARTIS and exaCT Analysis. The system offers numerous evaluation possibilities. On the basis of a single measurement, materials testing, nominal-actual comparisons against a master component or CAD data, reverse engineering and compensation of shrinkage and warping are possible within a very short time.

In its performance class, the exaCT U is one of the most compact computer tomography systems on the market. With four independent traversing axes, it offers an impressive resolution (4000 x 4000 pixels). Hardware and software offer the possibility of automated measurement integrated into the production line and provides the answers to questions posed by the Industry 4.0 concepts.
