Automated Production Monitoring in Medical Technology
Measurement of High-Quality Implants with Werth computed tomography
Quality assurance for medical products is essential, as every workpiece must reliably meet the required safety and functional standards. Genostis AG offers generic titanium bone implant systems for osteosynthesis and requires a testing method that fully captures all geometrical characteristics. The Werth TomoScope® XS Plus enables cost-effective 100% inspection of the workpieces, ensuring that deviations are detected early and the quality of the implants is consistently maintained.
At Genostis, at-line measurement is performed using the TomoScope® XS Plus, a robotic loader for unmanned feeding, and two offline stations to reduce cycle time through parallel evaluation. The requirements are maximum accuracy with short measurement times. Bone implants must be measured in 2 minutes and screws in as little as 30 seconds. A high X-ray source voltage of 160 kV to 230 kV enables the measurement of metallic plates and screws. Typical materials here are titanium and steel.
