Aluminum extrusion design is evolving faster and faster every day.
Manufacturers are under constant pressure to quickly develop new profiles that meet tight dimensional and structural requirements—while at the same time reducing time to market. Flexibility and accuracy are key to this, but how can you be sure the dimensional and structural requirements are met?
In the traditional process, the extrusion must be cut carefully to obtain a measurable cross-section. Operators must avoid deformation, ensure a perfect cutting angle, and remove burrs before placing the part on an optical machine or projector.
Even with these precautions, minor cutting errors or local distortion can happen and alter the results, compromising data accuracy and slowing down design approval.
With the Ready CoreX industrial CT scanner, you eliminate these limitations by inspecting the entire extrusion in a single run, without destructive cutting.
CT scanning allows you to:
Measure cross-sections anywhere along the profile, away from the cutting area.
Compare the scanned geometry with the CAD model in just seconds.
Identify dimensional deviations that impact both function and strength.
Save time and validate new extrusion designs faster, accelerating ROI.
Fast, precise, and production-ready, Ready CoreX turns inspection into a powerful design tool. Instead of interrupting production to verify a new profile, you can integrate CT scanning directly into your cycle—ensuring every extrusion meets the highest standards of quality, accuracy, and performance.
From now on, new profiles won’t slow down production—they’ll be your competitive advantage.
