The need for dimensional metrology solutions to measure new aircraft designs or the latest lightweight bodies and components will sustain the metrology market.
When processes fail unexpectedly, companies face irrecoverable loss of revenue and profit, not to mention the potential for irreparable damage to their brand. Failures are multivariate: they can be found in individual parts, entire machines, or within a process.
Excelitas Technologies, a global technology company delivering customized optoelectronics to OEMs, announced that is has completed the acquisition of Qioptiq, a privately-held company specializing in the design and manufacture of photonic products and solutions for a wide range of markets and applications.
Evolution of portable phased array ultrasonic testing equipment leads to large-scale uptake
November 20, 2013
The increase in replacement of conventional film radiography with advanced ultrasonic testing is fueling the global ultrasonic non-destructive test (NDT) equipment market.
Robert (Bob) Fangmeyer, deputy director of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has been selected to be the program’s new director.
As more inspectors have turned to CR, the inspection equipment has been steadily improving, offering manufacturers faster and more precise and cost-effective NDT results than ever before.
To ensure that the readings on a scale designed to weigh aircraft are accurate, the test system used to calibrate the scale needs to be even more accurate in applying test loads.
When looking for a NDE service provider the task can be daunting, but with thought and planning put in place you can build a consistent process in selecting a high quality provider.
