Drones are often used not only for entertainment and video filming but also for industrial work at height. They allow you not to risk the health of specialists and often significantly speed up work. However, it is difficult for drones to fly inside buildings and technical structures for inspection. And when they collide with something, they [...]
ApellixTM today announced it launched its blog as an informative source of information for the revolutionary magical technology of aerial robotics (drones) and how they assist in the war on corrosion. Drones are powerful "magical flying machines" straight out of science fiction. By adding robotic arms to drones Apellix has created a specialized tool needed for [...]
Olympus, a leading manufacturer of nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment, is supporting training school Warrior To Inspector’s mission to help transition retiring military veterans into a new NDT career by providing advanced inspection instruments for their ultrasonic testing (UT) courses. Transitioning into an NDT career can be challenging without the right training, certifications and hands-on experience. Warrior [...]
Olympus’ release of its WeldSight™ companion PC software for the OmniScan™ X3 phased array flaw detector provides inspectors with powerful tools to push the boundaries of flaw characterization and sizing. Compatible with conventional UT, phased array (PA) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) acquired data, the software enables inspectors to perform thorough post-inspection analyses that comply with strict [...]
Once again one of the leading developers of X-ray systems, VisiConsult X-ray Systems & Solutions GmbH, was able to present further new developments this summer. After the in-house development was completed, a standardized high-precision CT system was quickly completed and delivered in two different configurations in August. A customer in Israel received one variant with a [...]
