Hadland Technologies provides an X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray C.T.) and real-time radiography imaging service to industry, academia and research facilities. Internal and external geometry and features of almost any suitably sized sample can be imaged with extremely high resolution (as small as 1uM).
Industrial x-ray C.T. is a method for non-destructive analysis of a sample. It is utilized to either totally avoid the use of a destructive inspection method or prior to a destructive method such as cutting, polishing and sectioning.
CT data is acquired from radiographic images of the sample as it rotates through 360 degrees. A data volume is reconstructed from the hundreds of radiographic images and can be viewed with three-dimensional rendering software. Slice views at any point or any angle can be provided as well as three dimensional images.
STL / CAD data can be extracted or compared so that dimensional variances between an "deal" CAD model and the manufactured sample can be determined.
Triton Systems Inc. uses X-Ray Computed Tomography to Aid in Composite Fabrication and Inspection
Triton Systems Inc. Chelmsford, MA has been working with Hadland Technologies to verify fiber distribution uniformity and the presence of defects such as cracks in refining a material technology intended for use by the Navy. The use of X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) provides instant recognition of material quality, is inherently intuitive and its data well received by the DoD in support of development work.
