MCT 225
MCT225 offers absolute accuracy for inside geometry. This new ‘absolute-accuracy’
Metrology-CT (MCT) system guarantees that all internal and external geometry is
measured efficiently. A proprietary liquid cooled micro-focus reflection source and aircooled cabinet provide long-term stability and enable the MCT225 to achieve an
impressive accuracy specification. It offers superior measuring accuracy and small
feature detection to inspect precision plastic parts, small castings and complex parts
and assemblies.
Benefits:
-50 years’ experience of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) metrology blended
with 25 years’ experience of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT)
-Absolute accuracy 9 + L/50 μm in accordance with the VDI/VDE 2630
-Proprietary micro-focus source developed for metrology CT purposes
-High-precision mechatronics increase sample manipulation accuracy
-Straightforward manual use and automation process flow execution
-Powerful visualization and analysis provide detailed insight
-Suitable for wide range of sample sizes and material densities
Features:
Metrology CT: Non-destructive 3D inspection of internal/external geometry
Metrology CT is the fusion of metrology and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). X-ray
has long been used for industrial applications. With X-ray CT a number of 2D X-ray
images are taken at different angles around the sample. All of the external and internal
geometry is captured as the X-rays pass through the sample. CT software constructs a
3D model of the sample using these 2D images. Dimensional characteristics such as
size, position and form can be measured directly using the model as well as full partto-CAD comparison, section reporting and GD&T analysis.

Absolute accuracy of 9μm + L/50 and 2μm feature detactability
The MCT225 offers absolute accuracy of 9μm + L/50, and 2μm feature detectability.
Absolute Accuracy guarantees measurement accuracy without time consuming
comparative scans or reference measurements. Samples are simply placed on a
rotary table inside the enclosure and measured.
A key component of the MCT225 system is the in-house developed Nikon Metrology
225 kV micro-focus X-ray source. It produces incredibly sharp images with low noise
levels, enabling magnification levels up to 150x with 2µm feature detection.
MCT225 is pre-calibrated using accuracy standards traceable to the UK's national
measurement institute (NPL) and verified using VDI/VDE 2630 guidelines for
Computed Tomography in Dimensional Measurement. “Absolute accuracy”
guarantees measurement accuracy without time consuming comparative scans or
reference measurements; samples are simply placed on a rotary table inside the
enclosure and measured.
High-precision mechatronics increase sample manipulation accuracy
The MCT225 is equipped with a fully programmable 5-axis precision and large
capacity sample manipulator. The manipulator has been optimized through Finite
Element Analysis (FEA). The design of the manipulator benefited from 50 years of
CMM development expertise, to ensure highly accurate sample movement.
High precision linear guideways and axis travel error correction offer accurate and
repeatable motion within the temperature controlled enclosure. High resolution optical
encoders also fit this strategy for maximum precision. X-ray images taken by a high
resolution 4-Megapixel detector is the starting point for the system’s high performance
digital imaging and processing.
Large capacity manipulator for samples up to 5kg that fit in a measuring volume of
250mm diameter and 450mm height
Long manipulator travel: 480mm (18.89”) in x direction, 450mm (17.71”) in y direction,
730mm (28.74”) in z direction, and rotation in 360 degrees.
Straightforward manual use and automated process flow
The unique CT Wizard guides the operator every step of the way from sample loading
to creating the final inspection report. Settings are automatically optimized for
accuracy and image quality without compromising on productivity. Accelerated
reconstruction of the sample volume, using optimized graphics cards, reduces the total
process time from hours to minutes.

Macros allow for automated workflows that execute repeated CT data capture. After
recording a macro, an operator positions a sample on the manipulator table and starts
the procedure. The MCT225 system automatically moves the sample while X-ray
images are being taken. When the imaging cycle is completed, the operator can switch
specimens and re-start the procedure.
Powerful visualization and analysis provide detailed insight
The unique CT Wizard guides the operator every step of the way from sample loading
to creating the final inspection report. Settings are automatically optimized for
accuracy and image quality without compromising on productivity. Accelerated
reconstruction of the sample volume, using optimized graphics cards, reduces the total
process time from hours to minutes.
Reporting and analysis features include:
-Part-to-CAD comparison with color mapping
-Surface measurement using surface and voxel data
-Geometric feature inspection
-Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
-3D visualization of the sample volume
The same dataset can easily be used for measurement and defect analysis (NDT).
Flexible efficiency for a wide variety of applications
MCT255 is an invaluable asset for manufacturers seeking to benefit from reduced
leads times and inspection cycles. The powerful X-ray source and large capacity
manipulator combine with high magnification and small feature detection to create a
solution suited to a wide variety of applications.
Plastic injection-mold and metal die-cast manufacturers can significantly reduce
correction cycles during tool development and production start-up, accelerating time to
market for new products. All shrinkage, deformation and dimensional errors are clearly
identified in easy to understand inspection reports making it easier to define corrective
actions.
Emerging production techniques like additive manufacturing now make it possible to
produce small and highly complex components that can’t be inspected using touch
probes or optical sensors. Here too MCT225 makes it possible to measure and
analyze these components in a single non-destructive operation.

The high-precision microfocus 225kV and 225kW source penetrates different
materials. The thickness of the samples the can be fully penetrated by the X-ray
beams depends on the material density.
Material penetration: plastic 170mm (6.7”), aluminum 75mm (2.9”) and iron 15mm
(0.6”). Other suitable materials include: steel, ceramic, carbon fibre and wood.
Open tube technology reduces Cost of Ownership
The open-tube technology of the new source fitted in the MCT225 reduces the cost of
ownership. The serviceable open-tube source allows for quick and straightforward
replacement of the filament, saving time and money.
