Apellix™ is taking on corrosion control via aerial robotic systems. Also known as uncrewed aerial vehicles, UAVs, or drones, these aerial robots are software controlled for precision flight and automation. Based out of Jacksonville, Florida, USA, the company is an Olympus OEM provider and has integrated our 38DL PLUS™ (38DLP™) ultrasonic thickness gauge on their aerial [...]
High pressure vessel inspection is a typical application for Eddyfi Technologies’ advanced non-destructive testing solutions; you can readily find our sophisticated phased array ultrasonic testing, or PAUT, technology being deployed to ensure the continued safe operation of these critical assets. However, no two inspections are ever the same —and in this particular case— one might say [...]
Dr. Tobias Neubrand, Technical Director for Electronics Inspection at Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business and world leader in industrial inspection solutions, explains how advanced industrial radiography and computed tomography (CT) systems are revolutionizing non-destructive battery inspection, and why it’s a critical need for today’s fast-growing Electric Vehicle (EV) and eMobility manufacturing sector and for tomorrow’s [...]

About Renishaw Renishaw is a global, high precision metrology and healthcare technology group. We design, develop and deliver solutions and systems that provide unparalleled precision, control and reliability. We are [...]
Inspecting pipe welds is a demanding enough job without throwing cumbersome, complicated scanning equipment into the mix. When we designed the AxSEAM™ scanner, we focused on simplifying every aspect of longitudinal scanning for NDT inspectors. The feedback from users has been positive, confirming that the scanner eases inspection as intended. You can read this customer review [...]
The Blind Zone Scanner introduces a new feature for the ROSEN TBIT Ultra Service for inspection of aboveground storage tanks. This service is capable of accurately detecting and sizing even the smallest metal loss defects, enabling decision-making for the integrity management of storage tanks. Up to this point, floor scanners have been unable to reach ALL [...]
Modern borescopes, also called a videoscope as it uses an image sensor, are driving efficiency and improving research in the automotive industry. One example is at the Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS), where engineers are using specialized borescope equipment from Olympus to perform visual inspections of internal combustion engines (ICEs) and other powertrain subsystems [...]
A team from the sister companies Blackbird Robotersysteme GmbH and SCANLAB GmbH submitted a joint solution for the Innovation Award Laser Technology 2022. On May 4, the project team was awarded third place for its innovative scan solution with integrated OCT process monitoring. The system primarily impresses due to its flexibility and high practical suitability for [...]
Originally conceived for efficient Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Time-of-Flight-Diffraction (TOFD) weld inspection, the LYNCS™ multifunctional hybrid scanner by Eddyfi Technologies is also capable of PA corrosion mapping. Launched in 2020 to address the need for maximizing functionality and use, LYNCS tackles a wide range of everyday advanced UT inspections. In this article we will [...]
Valence Garden Grove Operations (formerly known as Coastline Metal Finishing) has completed the installation and commissioning of their new Nondestructive testing (NDT) line. Additionally, the new line, along with inspection personal, have passed several key audits including obtaining Nadcap NDT accreditation. Valence Garden Grove is now offering the following processes for aluminum alloys: Pre-penetrant Etch (Currently [...]
