Kinematics and radiation shielding of TomoScope CT measuring systems
Werth TomoScope coordinate measuring machines combine a microfocus X-ray source operating from 130 to 300 kV with ultra-precision mechanics on a solid granite base.
The high-precision rotary table incorporates aerostatic air bearings that maintain radial and axial runout below 0.1 microns during full-circle workpiece inspection.
An integrated lead-shielded enclosure completely absorbs scattered ionizing radiation in strict accordance with international safety regulations, eliminating any requirement for external bunker construction.
High-resolution digital flat panel detectors convert X-ray shadow projections into dense volumetric voxel arrays, allowing submicron dimensional inspection across composite parts.
Granite base design and aerostatic air bearings of VideoCheck machines
Multi-sensor coordinate measuring systems in the Werth VideoCheck portal and fixed-bridge lines rely on solid granite guide structures offering exceptional thermal stability.
Axis carriages travel on frictionless aerostatic air bearings supplied with dry filtered compressed air at working pressures between 4.5 and 6.0 bar. Eliminating mechanical friction prevents stick-slip phenomena and guarantees long-term datum repeatability.
Positioning feedback relies on photoelectric linear glass scales offering a resolution of 0.05 microns. The Werth BV optical video sensor integrates motorized zoom optics and programmable multi-sector LED illumination, creating high-contrast edge gradients under diverse illumination angles.
Multi-zone dynamic thermal compensation on ScopeCheck shopfloor CMMs
Werth ScopeCheck coordinate measuring machines are built for direct deployment within manufacturing cells and machining workshops.
To counteract ambient workshop temperature fluctuations, the machine employs a distributed network of PT100 temperature sensors mounted along mechanical slideways, optical scales, and the inspected part.
Controller mathematical algorithms apply real-time linear thermal expansion adjustments across each coordinate axis.
Fully enclosed sheet metal covers and impermeable bellows prevent metal chips and coolant aerosols from penetrating precision guideways, ensuring reliable dimensional tolerances on turned and milled components.
Alignment and calibration of Werth WLP and CFP optical sensor heads
The Werth multi-sensor architecture requires precise spatial coordination of optical and tactile probing channels within a unified coordinate system. The Werth Laser Probe WLP triangulation sensor and the chromatic focus point sensor CFP mount onto a dedicated Z-axis adapter.
Sensor alignment and focal datum calibration run automatically using a calibrated reference sphere and optical mirror artifact.
During calibration, WinWerth software calculates the 3D offset transformation matrix between the video optical axis and the focused laser beam, seamlessly uniting high-speed optical edge finding with high-density laser surface height profiling on steep freeform surfaces.
Werth Fiber Probe micro-stylus technology and scanning probe systems
For tactile verification of tiny micro-holes down to 40 microns in diameter, the patented Werth Fiber Probe WFP utilizes a silica glass micro-sphere mounted on an elastic optical fiber.
Probing deflection is tracked through the machine video camera by monitoring light reflection, reducing probing forces to micro-newton levels and protecting thin-walled geometries from plastic deformation.
Deeper cylindrical bores and internal grooves are scanned using Renishaw SP25M and SP80 analog scanning probes.
Preventive maintenance includes checking kinematic suspension spring tension, verifying stylus shaft straightness, and cleaning magnetic kinematic mounting joints to maintain micron-level repeatability.
Quality inspection procedures and ISO 10360 machine reverification
Technical metrology verification for Werth coordinate measuring machines follows standardized ISO 10360-2 and ISO 10360-5 testing protocols to confirm length measurement error MPEE and volumetric accuracy.
Calibration routines employ calibrated step gauges, gauge blocks, and precision reference spheres distributed across the entire working volume. Specialized WinWerth compensation tables correct residual geometric Abbe errors, pitch, yaw, and axis perpendicularity offsets.
Comprehensive service documentation includes traceable inspection records and diagnostic verification protocols, providing complete measurement traceability for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
