3D X-ray computed tomography CT for industrial, energy technology and archaeological applications
With computed tomography, the fem provides customers from industry and research with a method that enables the non-destructive, three-dimensional capture and characterisation of objects of any complexity from all material classes - alloys, ceramics, plastics and composites, biocompatible materials as well as construction materials and textiles - with all geometric and material-related structures.
The range of services offered by fem is aimed at all areas of the metalworking industry, e.g. the automotive and electronics industries, medical, plastics and energy technology, aerospace and the jewellery and watchmaking industries. The fem has two CT systems - phoenix v|tome|x L 450 (Micro-CT) and phoenix nanotom m 180 (Nano-CT) - for the following industrial and scientific applications:
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Non-destructive testing
Damage Analysis
Component testing, assembly inspection
Quality management
Metrology
Dimensional control, target/actual comparison
Shape detection, 3D wall thickness analysis
Reverse Engineering
SCIENTIFIC APPLICATION
Characterisation of different material classes
Density or particle distribution
Parameter optimisation using simulations
Changes of state
Computer-aided product development
Since 2010, we have been analysing a wide variety of objects, components and materials in our CT laboratory and dealing with a wide range of issues - quickly, precisely and reliably. Thanks to our extensive experience and our outstanding technology, we can provide you not only with measurement results, but also with real solutions to problems.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE: ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY SYSTEMS
Analysis of batteries (all cell formats, e.g. button cells, pouch cells, prismatic cells): Structure, contacting, deformations, impurities and causes of damage.
Characterisation of fuel cells: Geometry and distance measurements, material and failure analysis
Characterisation of components for batteries, fuel cells and electrolysis (e.g. electrodes, bipolar plates, gas diffusion layers)
APPLICATION EXAMPLE: ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY SYSTEMS
Non-destructive detection and characterisation of arbitrarily complex objects from all material classes with all geometric and material-related structures
Precise 3D representation of exposed objects or objects recovered in the block
High-resolution visualisations of objects without prior manual exposure
Highlights: Examination of the Early Celtic, splendidly furnished princess tomb from the Heuneburg and the approx. 40,000-year-old lion man from the Swabian Alb.
