Your Pit Stop for Quality Volume Graphics Software for Quality Control in Casting

Get Full Control from Mold to Part With Volume Graphics Software Just as every millisecond in a pit stop counts in a race, every little detail counts when inspecting safety-relevant components. Volume Graphics is your pit crew. From mold to casted part, from part design to inspection— Volume Graphics software gives you the insights to constantly push the quality boundaries of your cast parts and establish efficient workflows. The software runs on data provided by the latest computed tomography (CT) technology. Volume Graphics software enables you to identify the most important casting defects,...

For its “strong overall performance,” “its singular contributions toward consistently advancing the CT systems market,” and a “thorough understanding of end users’ needs,” Volume Graphics has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2018 Market Leadership Award.* * ource: Frost & Sullivan S Award Write Up volumegraphics

Your Comprehensive Toolbox Measure, Inspect, and Simulate—All with One Software Volume Graphics software is your tool for identifying the most important casting defects such as porosity, inclusions, shrinkage, and warpage. Volume Graphics offers the tools necessary for CT-based quality assurance across the life cycle of cast components, from designing the part to automatically inspecting it: geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, mold cavity correction, wall thickness analysis, nominal/actual comparison, defect detection, virtual machining, and stress simulation. Dimensional Measurements Dimensional...

Casting comes with challenges like voids, porosity, and cracks in the final product. With VGSTUDIO MAX, you can reliably detect critical casting defects, such as pores and cracks, even in lower quality data and determine their sizes and shapes. You can also calculate the defect size relative to the local wall thickness. Filtering the defects by properties such as sphericity, compactness, or distance to surface allows you to distinguish between defect formation mechanisms. Tolerancing criteria can also be adapted to different regions of the component. In the automotive industry, special rules...

Virtual Machining Pores in the wrong places can have serious consequences for the further machining of a casting. That’s why VGSTUDIO MAX shows you if and how pores would be cut during machining—before actually machining the part (CAD file of the part required). Automated Inspection in Production It is becoming increasingly important for parts to be inspected as comprehensively and non-destructively as possible directly where they are produced. With VGinLINE, you can semi- or fully automate the quality control process of cast parts (including the automatic recognition of tool cavity markers)....
