The MSV-300 Series microspectroscopy system provides transmittance/reflectance measurements of microscopic sample sites for a range of wavelengths, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Conventional measurements require samples with dimensions comparable to a millimeter-sized optical beam. The series can measure color, film thickness and other spectral properties of a microscopic area for either large or small samples with a minimum spatial resolution of 30 microns. The optional automated X-Y-Z stage provides multi-point or mapping measurements for surface analysis of samples. The series has a spectral measurement range that offers continuous measurements between 250 and 2,000 nanometers (MSV-370). An integrated CCD camera allows verification of the analysis site and sample position while defining the sample aperture on the software system. All microscope operations are PC-controlled through the Spectra Manager software interface.
The Glider is a manual 2-axis encoding scanner designed primarily for the inspection of composite and aluminum aircraft parts such as fuselages. The instrument has a cost-efficient design, multi-technology capability and lightweight but rugged construction. It is compatible with phased array (PA) or conventional ultrasonic (UT) probes, as well as conventional eddy current (EC) and eddy current array (ECA) probes. Both axes offer a free-running, incremental or lock mode. The standard, pivot-equipped suction cup pods enable contour following on curved surfaces while the optional magnetic mounting pods extend the versatility of this scanner to corrosion-mapping applications involving ferromagnetic materials. With a light, aluminum frame and removable index arm, the instrument can be transported or reassembled for use on multiple parts. It is available in three sizes, providing scan areas of 46 by 46 centimeters, 61 by 61 centimeters, and 91 by 91 centimeters. It will interface with the OmniScan modular flaw detector or any other data acquisition system.
The C-Arm Inspection System is for quality control imaging in the areas of casting process verification and product analysis for automotive component manufacturers. The system has an image intensifier coupled to a high-resolution high-bit-depth digital camera for real-time viewing and a programmable computer numerical controller (CNC) to manage part positioning. The system, which allows a full 30-degree angle of detection (tilt), handles scanning at obtuse angles. The system integrates into the production process and can be directly interfaced in a robotic manufacturing cell. Additional features include: image intensifier, amorphous silicon panel or LDA configuration; energy sources of 160 kilovolts, 225 kilovolts and 320 kilovolts; static or dynamic image viewing; image enhancement and archival system; a part envelope of 610 millimeters by 610 millimeters and 50-kilogram capacity; 30-degree (+ or -) tilt, 914 millimeters up/down motion; programmable or manual operation; US 21CFR1020.40, UVV, DIN54113, VDE-0-100, CE, EUATOM 96/29 and IEC 529 compliance.
The Maxima ML-3500 Series ultraviolet lamps use micro discharge light (MDL) technology, plus a unique filter and bulb/reflector, to deliver up to 10 times the UV-A (365nm) output of conventional HID inspection lamps. With these lamps, NDT inspectors can see surface defects, hydrocarbon contamination and other flaws that escape less powerful lamps. The lamps are available in 120 volts, 230 volts, 240 volts and 100-volt AC versions, as well as battery-operated versions that include a 12-volt, 7 amp/hr rechargeable battery, which will operate the lamp for two hours. A battery charger and carrying case are included.
The Model E2 leak testing instrument has a built-in Micro-Flow sensor (IGLS) and two levels of fill/balance for faster test cycles. The device allows the operator to remotely monitor leak tests over a network, using the E2 Ethernet connection and Leak–Tek program Version 5.0. The unit has a touch screen with graphical color display. The instrument is for use in pressure applications with leak rates from 0.1 cubic centimeter per minute.
The KD-2306 is a noncontact linear displacement measuring instrument based on balanced bridge eddy current technology. It makes high-precision static and dynamic measurements, and supports ambient, moderate temperature and cryogenic rated sensors. Applications range from lab work to production and process automation. The DIN rail mount packaging makes the system ideal for integration into OEM equipment and industrial control applications. The KD-2306 senses both ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets. The RoHS-compliant, CE-marked system includes the electronics, sensor and interconnecting cable. Standard sensing ranges are from 0.02 inch to 2.4 inches, with 0.01% FS resolution or better, and nonlinearity as little as 0.25% FS. More than 30 sensor models are available, including single and dual coil, shielded and unshielded designs.
Extend Upgrade System packages are for use with hydraulic load frames. Developed for high-capacity tension, compression, bend and shear testing, hydraulic testing systems can be updated with the addition of operator-friendly software and real-time system status electronics. The 5500 control electronics allow for automatic recognition and calibration of transducers, ensuring safe and correct testing. The electronics can control the frame using any combination of load, strain or speed rates. The AC output greatly reduces typical noise inaccuracies throughout the capacity of the test system. The 5500 control electronics offer 40-kilohertz data sampling, 32-bit digital signal processing and 500-hertz data capture rate that is synchronous on all channels. Partner software is fully integrated and features automated data collection, result calculation, networking capabilities and an online help system.
A Rockwell hardness tester for automatically performing hardness traverse sequences on larger and unmounted test samples is available. An advantage of the Rockwell test compared to other test methods is that the system has less mounting and less surface preparation requirements than systems using other test methods for traverses in applications such as weld testing or effective case depth measurement. The system uses a Versitron Rockwell tester to make the indentations. The Versitron can test samples that may deflect or settle slightly when test loads are applied, thereby eliminating the need for special fixturing on a wide range of test samples. The system enables applications such as dual traverses for welding or staggered test traverses for shallower effective case depth testing. A computer is used to display the video input for positioning, initiate the testing and control the test positioning through motorized X/Y tables. User-controlled setup files can handle an unlimited number of test sequences.
Thread Tech. V2.24 Software for Windows XP and Vista is a comprehensive computer program for screw threads designed for engineers, planners, quality assurance personnel and machinists. The software eliminates long and confusing computations and searches for specifications. The software provides comprehensive data on parts, gages and taps. It gives information on pitch diameter, minor diameter, gage design, helix angles, tolerances, crest and root flats, wire sizes and constants. The computer program covers 60-degree Unified inch and metric threads as well as Acme, pipe, STI and buttress threads. It also provides pre-plating dimensions for standard plating, anodize plating and HAE plating specifications. The software offers a unique worm calculation program for various included angles and uses both the Buckingham and Vogel formulas. The program provides information on ISO trapezoidal threads for British parts.
The FTP 130 is a three-way measuring system that measures the flatness, thickness and parallelism of both 1- and 2- sided parts. Up to two different functions can be used simultaneously to measure parts as thin as 0.20 millimeter or as thick as 200 millimeters. System components to measure larger objects are available on request. An analog-digital display is included that eliminates inaccuracies. The operator also can record results and produce analysis reports, which can help with meeting ISO and SPC production requirements. The system components include digital amplifier with analog-digital display; heavy-duty gage stand base; 130-millimeter square hardened steel anvil (grooved face); and two inductive probes (one thickness/parallel, one flatness).
