CT application examples from the plastics industry – Replacement of conventional measuring equipment

Today, the machines are used in production monitoring, quality assurance and in the development of injection molds, for example to calculate mold corrections directly with the FormCorrect software package in the WinWerth® measurement software.
Small plastic gears can also be tested in a production cycle of just a few seconds per workpiece. 96 gears can be captured together in just 2.5 minutes. The measurement point clouds are automatically assigned, the entire tooth geometry is measured and all gears are tested for defects such as burrs or voids.
For example, the dimensional accuracy of metal and plastic components can be measured on connectors and cable connectors in the installed state and the connection clamps can be tested fully automatically for defects and burrs. The optional burr detection software process integrated into WinWerth® provides a color-coded deviation plot of the burr and the maximum burr length.
