The ZEISS METROTOM 6 Scout is designed for precise measurement and inspection of plastic injection molded products. It is widely used for:

1. First Article Inspection: Ensuring the first part produced meets all specifications.
2. Tool Correction: Identifying defects for tooling adjustments.
3. Production Inspection: Continuous monitoring of production quality.
4. Material Analysis: Detecting internal defects like pores and cavities.
5. Dimensional Measurement: Providing accurate internal and external measurements.

 

Ming-Li Precision has enhanced its plastic injection molding measurement and inspection capabilities by incorporating the ZEISS METROTOM 6 Scout (GOM CT) system. This advanced system offers comprehensive, non-destructive 3D X-ray analysis, ensuring meticulous quality control and accuracy in inspecting complex plastic components.

Capabilities and Applications

1. First Article Inspection:

   • The METROTOM 6 Scout provides highly detailed scans of the first produced part, ensuring it meets all design specifications. This is crucial for validating the initial production run and making any necessary adjustments before mass production.

2. Tool Correction:

   • By identifying minute defects and deviations from the intended design, the system helps in making precise tool corrections. This ensures that subsequent production runs are free from the same issues, saving time and resources.

3. Production Inspection:

   • Continuous monitoring of the production process is facilitated by the METROTOM 6 Scout. It allows for the detection of any deviations or defects that may occur during manufacturing, ensuring that all products meet high-quality standards.

4. Material Analysis:

   • The system excels in detecting internal defects such as pores, cavities, and inclusions within plastic components. This is particularly important for ensuring the integrity and reliability of parts used in critical applications.

5. Dimensional Measurement:

   • The ZEISS METROTOM 6 Scout provides precise internal and external measurements of components. This is essential for verifying that all dimensions meet the required tolerances and specifications, ensuring proper fit and function in assembly processes.

6. Comprehensive Quality Control:

   • By offering a complete 3D view of the internal and external structure of components, the METROTOM 6 Scout ensures comprehensive quality control. This includes measuring wall thickness, detecting material inconsistencies, and verifying complex geometries that are difficult to inspect with traditional methods.

 

Advantages for Clients

• Non-Destructive Testing: Unlike traditional inspection methods that may require disassembly or destruction of the component, the METROTOM 6 Scout offers non-destructive testing. This means that the integrity of the component is maintained while still providing a thorough inspection.

• Increased Accuracy and Reliability: The high-resolution 3D scans and precise measurements provided by the METROTOM 6 Scout ensure that every component meets stringent quality standards. This reliability is crucial for industries where precision and safety are paramount.

• Time and Cost Efficiency: By enabling quick identification and correction of defects, the system reduces the time and cost associated with rework and scrap. This efficiency translates to faster time-to-market for products and lower overall production costs.

• Enhanced Documentation and Reporting: The system generates detailed reports and documentation of the inspection results. This is beneficial for maintaining quality records, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and providing transparency to clients.

The integration of the ZEISS METROTOM 6 Scout (GOM CT) system at Ming-Li Precision signifies a significant advancement in their measurement and inspection capabilities. By offering detailed, non-destructive 3D X-ray analysis, the METROTOM 6 Scout ensures that Ming-Li Precision can deliver plastic injection molded products of the highest quality. Clients benefit from increased accuracy, reliability, and efficiency, ensuring that their products meet the most stringent standards.
