Tin whiskers are small and hard to detect and inspect. Typically no bigger than 1 to 5 microns in diameter and as much as several millimeters in length, they are small, but powerful; capable of turning a $250 million communication satellite into an orbiting paperweight and short circuiting pacemakers, radar systems, fuses, relays, GPS receivers and even disabling a nuclear power plant.
FLAMATT, SWITZERLAND-Comet, a global supplier of industrial X-ray components and modules for nondestructive testing applications, introduces a new X-Ray Source (XRS).
SINSHEIM, GERMANY-Control, the international trade fair for quality assurance, now in its 21st year of existence, still remains true to the principles of total practice orientation and marketability.
ALMELO, THE NETHERLANDS-PANalytical, a supplier of analytical instrumentation and software for X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), will conduct its business in Mexico directly as a PANalytical entity under the aegis of Spectris Mexico, instead of through its agent, Pona.
AUSTIN, TX-Airbus selected National Instruments (NI) DIAdem data analysis and report generation software as its standard tool for processing wind-tunnel test data, including the effects of specific thermal and aerodynamic parameters on airliners across Europe.
DURHAM, UK-Bede X-ray Metrology, a global provider of X-ray metrology systems to the semiconductor industry, shipped a BedeScan Defect Detection and Inspection System to Nippon Steel Technoresearch Corp.
Transducers convert energy from one form to another in order to measure a physical quantity or for information transfer. This broad definition includes microphones, thermometers and position and pressure sensors.
Color is one of the most important visual cues that humans have for inspecting objects. Yet, color is a subjective value that depends on an object’s illumination and viewing environment as well as its spectral properties. To automate color-based inspection, a machine vision system must model after the behavior of human eyesight.
To improve the quality of visual inspections of hard-to-reach areas such as deep bores or complex castings, borescope video inspection is an effective answer. Borescopes are optical instruments, akin to medical endoscopes, that allow operators to inspect products or components that they cannot inspect via other means.
