A new advanced multi-scan and multi-sensor computed tomography system for the inspection of large aluminium car bodies was developed and successfully applied. Besides 3D CT and micro 3D CT the system includes newly developed extended scan methods which allow to scan small sections inside of large objects up to a size of car bodies. A varienty of different scan methods in combination with the handling by a robot leads to a highly flexible system that is able to provide three dimensional information for objects sizing from 3 mm up to 5000 mm. All the basic joining techniques like welding, glueing and riveting can be inspected non destructively. The ability to analyse joints and its defects in high resolution was proven by different application examples. Besides providing valueable three dimensional information the system is able to reduce the amount of scrap parts produced by destructive testing methods.
