CoreX ONE is an industrial tomograph designed for the shop floor. It measures internal and external dimensions in a single run. It automatically detects porosity, blowholes, and internal defects. It compares the scanned volume with the CAD model via a color map. It does this in about 40 seconds. It's the ideal tool for production start-up and batch changeovers: a quick check at the start of a shift ensures that critical measurements are within the correct range before the line restarts. But it's also fast enough for final piece-by-piece validation or for incoming checks on purchased components. Compact, self-shielded, it can be installed directly in production. No dedicated infrastructure required. FAST. SIMPLE. ACCESSIBLE. The 2,400W rotating anode source – the same technology as hospital medical tomographs – distributes heat onto a rotating disk: superior power, no annual maintenance on the filament. The software is designed for line operators. The results of each measurement are displayed in a traffic light format. The dimensions are displayed in a two-dimensional section—the same logic as a profile projector. A physical button starts the cycle. The report is automatically generated. The return on investment is rapid. No specialized operators. No shielded rooms. Low operating costs. POWERFUL AS A TOMOGRAPH, EASY AS A PROFILE PROJECTOR How can powerful 3D tomography software be used in the workshop? How can costly operator training be avoided? The real revolution is in the software. CoreX ONE delivers a user experience as easy and intuitive as using a profile projector. The result of each measurement is traffic light-type, to eliminate any doubt and avoid tiring reading. The graphic display for operators is two-dimensional with sections. When the operator clicks on a measurement, he is shown the trend of this dimension over time and a two-dimensional view as if he were working on a profile projector. The operator will immediately be aware of what he is measuring and whether that production quantity is drifting: a valuable signal to correct the process before the line starts producing waste. How was it possible to make tomography simple? During the programming phase, origins and references are defined directly on the acquired three-dimensional volume or on an STL file. A plane, a cylinder, a point—often coinciding with significant process elements, such as a molding plane or a draft direction. Virtual cutting planes are created on these references. The dimensions to be controlled, with their respective tolerances, are set on these planes. The result? The line operator sees all the measured dimensions on the screen, accompanied by a two-dimensional cross-section, just as they would with a profile projector. The same logic, the same immediacy, but with automatic and objective results. Whether internal or external parts are involved, each cross-section is automatically extracted, with the same precision, in just a few seconds.
