01 15 THE NEW COMPUTERISED AXIAL TOMOGRAPHY MACHINE ENABLES THE INSPECTION OF BOTH METAL AND PLASTIC PRODUCTS AND COMPONENTS introduced in the last year is the latest generation of computerised axial tomography instrumentation, which makes it possible to inspect both metal and plastic products and components even in the inner layers of the material with considerable advantages for dimensional study, for fine-tuning sampling and, above all, essential in the search for possible imperfections. Plastics and elastomers are also monitored through the observation of thermograms provided by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry): this control activity ensures that the materials used comply with the requirements defined by the project specifications, thus not only dimensional checks but also attention to raw materials properties. In the process of computerised axial tomography, the object is rotated and X-rayed from different angles, generating a series of cross-sectional images: powerful software processes these images, reconstructing a high-resolution 3D visualisation, allowing non-destructive inspection of the internal structure.
