Investigation of copper coils by high-resolution Synchrotron CT

Leister Technologies AG develops products and systems for plastic welding and process heat applications. With their technologies - hot air, contact heat, extrusion, laser and infrared - and passion for innovative solutions, the Leister team significantly influences their market segment and set standards worldwide. 

The Leister brand stands for over 70 years of global market and innovation leadership in plastic welding and industrial process heating. All products and components of the Leister brand are developed and produced in Switzerland. 

In the series production of electric motors, constant quality control is of the utmost importance. It is important to be able to evaluate all process stages and different components precisely down to the smallest length-scales.

ANAXAM's applied materials analytics using high-resolution Synchrotron CT was successfully applied to non-destructively and three-dimensionally characterize the integrity of different types of copper coils after bending procedures. The analysis results support Leister in understanding how different steps of the manufacturing process affect the quality and future function of their products.
