Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT)
Industrial computed tomography makes the hidden visible
Our industrial computed tomography system can analyze your components and materials down to the smallest detail—without causing any damage!
Using industrial computed tomography (CT), X-rays can reveal not only external geometries in three dimensions but also all internal structures. Hidden defects are made visible reliably and precisely in a very short time.
Detailed 3D reconstruction of components can thus easily optimize products or enable reverse engineering . Industrial computed tomography supports you in both the development process and quality control.
This technology is revolutionizing the way quality assurance and development work today!
Industrial computed tomography can be used for
virtually all materials.
It offers a wide range of applications.
The advantage over conventional radiographic testing lies in the three-dimensional visualization &
the digitization of the data.
With the help of analysis software, a wide range of analyses is possible.

A success story 
- Challenge:
Fronius International GmbH faced the task of inspecting a 3D-welded diaphragm valve made of austenitic steel for internal defects. Due to the valve’s complex geometry and surface, conventional inspection methods such as X-ray or ultrasonic testing were not suitable.
- Solution:
To meet this challenge, Fronius opted for industrial computed tomography as the inspection method. TÜV AUSTRIA and this innovative technology made it possible to detect small defects on the order of approximately 0.5 mm without having to modify the surface of the diaphragm valve.
- Result:
Thanks to the precise analysis by the TÜV AUSTRIA experts , industrial computed tomography allowed for the exact localization of the position and extent of the defects. With this information, it was possible to adjust the parameters and weld path planning for future welding tasks.
The decision to use industrial computed tomography as an inspection method proved to be a decisive step for our customer. Through the precise detection of defects, production processes were optimized and the quality of the diaphragm valves was improved.
TÜV AUSTRIA thanks Fronius International GmbH for sharing this information!
This demonstrates how an active decision to adopt innovative inspection methods can contribute to solving complex challenges!
