#ndt Industrial chimneys require regular inspection to assess their structural integrity. Normally a person will examine the exterior or enter the stack by rope access. This operation requires a scheduled or unscheduled shutdown and poses a safety risk for the inspection team. Drones, or UAVs, up until now have only been used to examine the exterior [...]
#ndt Detection Technology, a global leader of X-ray imaging solutions, makes quick and accurate inspection of large-scale objects easy by debuting X-Scan M series. The modular linear detector arrays (LDA) are scalable to different inspection system lengths up to over four meters with one controller and a single Gigabit Ethernet interface. Even longer scanners can be [...]
#ndt As you might expect from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), how professionals are and will be using the products and technology on display at the show isn’t exactly a focus.
