Unsere Inline-CT-Systeme können Abweichungen vom optimalen Produktionsprozess frühzeitig erkennen.
Production monitoring of cast parts using X-ray technology
We develop systems using X-ray technology (2D and computed tomography) for production monitoring that detect deviations from optimum production processes at an early stage in order to minimize production rejects.
