#ndt Contrôle Mesure Systèmes will exhibit at TUBE Dusseldorf from 16th to 20th April 2018 stand 6G18. Specialist for nearly 30 years in nondestructive testing methods, we propose a large range of NDT equipments, especially for tubes and bars inspection, on or off line, in ferrous or nonferrous metal. The 2 mains products of CMS are [...]
#ndt Qualitech AG is the largest independent accredited material testing center in Switzerland with over 130 employees in several locations throughout the country. Qualitech first began computed radiography in 2012 with a DÜRR NDT HD-CR 35 NDT imaging plate scanner and since then have processed several thousand images with the system. Currently four HD-CR 35 NDT [...]
#ndt Aerial modelling and inspections using commercial-grade drones offer compelling advantages for the resource sector by increasing safety, saving time and reducing survey costs. Airscope*, a Perth, Australia-based inspections and asset visualization company, has used the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone to extend these benefits further by developing computer-generated 3-D models of entire hydrocarbon processing facilities off [...]
#ndt Innovations such as 3D printing, which enable the manufacturing of complex components, are advancing faster than the necessary quality control systems. An EU-funded project, INTERAQCT, has fine-tuned techniques for fast and accurate CT model acquisition, with special emphasis on 3D printed, composite and multi-material parts, for improved reliability of measurement and defect detection. Improved X-ray [...]
#ndt When an engineer first suggested using a drone to inspect two concrete pressurized water reactor (PWR) containment domes at American Electric Power’s Cook Nuclear Plant, David Aubrey, who oversees these inspections, was hesitant to trust such a new technology with such a critical task. The engineering program manager didn’t know much about unmanned aircraft systems [...]
#ndt ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, is extending capabilities for critical high resolution industrial imaging with the introduction of a new 43 megapixel (MP) resolution, charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor in the convenient 35 mm optical format. The KAI-43140 is ideal for use in applications where both very high resolution image capture and [...]
#ndt Human beings are creatures of habit, and most are loath to move out of their comfort zone. This perennial truth is apparent in many areas, but in technology, its impact appears formidable and challenging, with potential to bring about national disasters. American writer and Professor of Biochemistry, Isaac Asimov, speaking at the Newark College of [...]
#ndt Idaho State University Department of Chemistry researchers are using thermal imaging – and a lot of complicated math formulas – to develop a nondestructive means of recovering defaced or scraped serial numbers from stolen items such as guns or vehicles. Law enforcement agencies could potentially use these recovered numbers to return stolen items or use [...]
#ndt Laser Radar (LR) is a laser based measuring technology that is gaining ever increasing focus from automotive and aerospace OEMs due to its speed and ability to bring automated absolute CMM quality measurements to the production line. The Nikon Metrology Laser Radar solution provides automated, non-contact measurement capability for medium to large-volume applications of up [...]
#ndt Metal Fatigue Solutions (MFS), producer of the next generation of advanced Nondestructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology systems for major civil and industrial infrastructure, today announced it has opened an office in New York City's Empire State Building. MFS' newly established East Coast regional headquarters will serve a growing customer base whose [...]
