What customers ask about computed tomography
Which parts can be X-rayed?
Plastics, aluminium, composites and also steel can be X-rayed. What matters is the combination of material and wall thickness. Whether your part is suitable is clarified with the CT partner before the order.
Does the part remain undamaged?
Yes, the inspection is non-destructive. You see internal geometries, pores and inclusions without cutting the part.
What does a CT measurement cost and how long does it take?
Effort-based, depending on the part and the question. The lead time is usually 3–5 working days. We name the date with the quote.
Who performs the CT scan?
The data acquisition takes place at a specialised partner. The evaluation and the metrological assessment — the decisive part — are done by CSL. Inspection planning, the report and responsibility for the results lie with CSL.
