Computed tomography as a quality control technique in the 3d modelling of injection- moulded car system components

Abstract

Praca przedstawia zaawansowane możliwości przemysłowej tomografii komputerowej (TK) w rozwoju i procesie modelowania 3D nowych elementów samochodowych. Zazwyczaj proces powstawania części nowego samochodu trwa od trzech do pięciu lat. Na każdym etapie rozwoju produktu kontrola jakości jest kluczowa w wychwyceniu zarówno wewnętrznych jak i zewnętrznych wad. Jest to niezwykle ważne zwłaszcza dla elementów wywarzanych w procesie wtrysku. Tomografia komputerowa jako nieniszcząca metoda badawcza jest wspaniałym narzędziem do kontroli oraz ulepszania procesu wytwarzania i jednocześnie ulepszania modelu 3D badanego elementu. Wszystkie analizy wykonane przy pomocy TK są niezbędne, aby sprostać wymaganiom klienta. Artykuł pokazuje zastosowanie przemysłowej tomografii komputerowej jako narzędzia do kontroli jakości w procesie rozwoju elementów samochodowych. 

This paper presents the sophisticated capabilities of industrial computed tomography (CT) in the development and 3D modelling process of new car system components. Usually, the process of the development of new car components takes three to five years. At each development process stage, quality control is crucial to catch all internal and external defects. This is particularly important with regard to components made using an injection-moulding process. Computed tomography as a non-destructive testing method is an excellent tool for controlling and improving both the manufacturing process and the 3D modelling of tested components. All analyses performed with use of CT are essential for meeting customer requirements. This paper shows how industrial computed tomography can control the quality of the car components development process.
