High resolution problem less than 130mm zoom

[[Ti...]]

Once we set our scan at 120mm or less zoom, we get very poor surface quality on the volume and polygonized mesh if we use full resolution. If we use half resolution the volume and scan looks absolutley amazing!!!

 

We are better off scanning 2 parts at 60 zoom at half resolution than 4 parts full resolution at 120 zoom. That works for small parts, but for larger parts that need to be moved out to 120mm zoom we get poor surfaces. The same part pushed back to 300mm zoom will look amazing, but we lose resolution at 300mm obviously.

 

We have many .05mm tolerance surface profiles and scan quality is critical for us.

 

Once we go to 60mm zoom we cannot consider using full resolution if our part has surface profile tolerances, we must use half resolution...Could someone that works in the xray department comment on this issue? We've been using the Metrotom for 4 years and tried everything you can imagine...we've tried no filter, .5Cu, 1mm Cu, 1000-3000 images, 200-1200ms, hardening on/off, etc, volume filtering off/on, etc. This has to be a known issue.

 

Thanks
