DXR100

Need

Microtomography is a technique that has been used for a long time already in the medical world, which most of us have encountered already in the hospital: CT scanning.

But did you know that you can use the same technique for bottles as well? Delta Engineering is now making this technology affordable for the blow moulding industry:

Microtomography allows you to:

• Generate 3D drawings of products – ‘As is’: with all their characteristics and possible flaws.
  In the near future, we will offer online services to calculate top load, volume, oxygen & CO2 barrier, etc (in an online platform). Moreover, it will be possible to use these data in process simulations, feeding back ‘big data’ to simulation systems.
• Inspect for quality problems: for example, determining how much barrier material is present in a preform
  (see picture on the right)
• Improve your product analysis: for example, for weight reduction
  
• Look into the product: for example, to detect assembly issues:
  • Is the cap closing everywhere?
  • Detect internal leakage in pumping systems
• And many more!

 
 
 

The machine

The DXR100 is a compact high-performance micro CT system that collects complex internal and external geometry data.

This CT scanner visualizes the complete bottle with extreme precision.
As a result, you can do a fully automated quality inspection, measuring thickness, inclusions, presence of layers, etc.

Advantages of this affordable high-performance CT system:

• High resolution
• Large scanning volume
• Powerful acquisition & reconstruction software

Moreover, it is easy to install, operate and maintain:

• Small footprint
• Mostly sealed generators

So how does this work exactly?
The CT system uses X rays to beam through an object onto a receptor plate. By doing so, it generates a picture.
It takes multiple pictures while the object is turning around. As a result, the pictures are processed into a 3D model. On this 3D model, several structural analyses and measurements can be made as well as optional CAD model export.
