METROTOM 1500

ZEISS METROTOM 1500

Large-Scale Industrial Computed Tomography for Comprehensive Volumetric Inspection

As complex sub-assemblies, electric vehicle battery modules, and aerospace housings scale up in physical size, traditional non-destructive testing quickly hits its structural limits. The ZEISS METROTOM 1500 stands as the premier large-scale industrial Computed Tomography (CT) system, engineered to capture both the internal and external geometries of substantial components with uncompromised clarity.

Featuring an exceptionally expansive measuring envelope, advanced high-resolution detector options, and a highly stable physical architecture, the platform allows manufacturing facilities to evaluate massive parts and complex multi-material assemblies in a single, automated scan cycle.

Key Features

Expansive Volumetric Measuring Envelope

Features an exceptionally large physical cabinet space coupled with an optimized axis travel range, allowing the system to effortlessly accommodate workpieces up to 615 mm in height and 500 mm in diameter.

High-Resolution 4K Digital Detector Matrix

Utilises a premium, large-surface flat-panel detector array that captures an immense density of measurement points per projection, ensuring sharp voxel resolution even on large-scale parts.

Highly Stable Monolithic Granite Architecture

Built entirely upon a massive, high-rigidity granite base configuration that dampens mechanical vibrations and maintains flawless axis alignment over extended, high-throughput testing cycles.

Programmable Variable Focus Positioning

Integrates an adjustable focus-to-detector distance mechanism that allows operators to position the X-ray source dynamically closer to the component, maximizing magnification and local data density.

Advanced Multi-Material Interface Management

Deploys proprietary filtration hardware and software algorithms designed to eliminate harsh scatter anomalies at the boundary lines where dense metals meet low-attenuation polymers.

Automated Reference Calibration System

Features internal, certified calibration standards that engage automatically between inspection routines, ensuring long-term metrological accuracy and data compliance without operator intervention.

Why Choose METROTOM 1500?

Complete Non-Destructive Assembly Mapping

Allows engineering teams to analyze complex, fully sealed enclosures—such as automotive steering gears or electronic control units—mapping internal clearances and mating tolerances without dismantling the asset.

Traceable Accuracy to VDI/VDE 2630 Standards

Delivers certified dimensional measurement data backed by an official Maximum Permissible Error (MPE) rating, providing complete legal and corporate compliance for formal quality audits.

High-Throughput Automated Batch Scanning

The massive internal payload table allows operators to fixture multiple production parts simultaneously, executing automated batch runs that drastically lower inspection times and increase processing ROI.

Rapid internal Defect and Void Localisation

Enables quality managers to automatically scan, track, and visualize the exact 3D volume, distribution, and geometric footprint of hidden internal air pockets, cracks, and structural material flaws.

Industry 4.0 Connected Performance Diagnostics

Fully compatible with ZEISS Smart Services, allowing facility managers to remotely evaluate tube life, radiation enclosure integrity, temperature logs, and active operational metrics via secure web dashboards.

Ergonomic Front-Loading Workstation Access

Designed with an extra-wide, automated sliding protection door that opens completely to provide unhindered access for overhead crane part positioning and heavy fixture loading.

Applications

Electric Vehicle Battery Modules & Electronics

Inspecting the structural cell alignment, electrical wire bonds, and internal enclosure seals within EV battery modules and high-power inverter units to secure absolute functional safety.

Large aerospace and Automotive Castings

Evaluating internal fluid channels, core shifts, and structural porosity distributions inside substantial aluminum engine components, gearbox housings, and structural aerospace brackets.

Complex Multi-Material Consumer Assemblies

Analyzing the hidden fitment, seal compression, and mechanical interlocking mechanisms of large medical drug delivery devices, specialized pumps, and composite enclosures.
