Until the CoaXPress v2.1 standard was released in 2021, the only physical medium between cameras, PCs, and frame grabbers for the CoaXPress (CXP) interface had been 75Ω coaxial cable. For most vision applications, the CXP 2.1 interface perfectly suited high-throughput inspection systems, quality control and factory automation needs. So, who would want to change that winning formula?

In a domain where microns and millimeters matter, efficient quality inspection and metrology processes can make the difference between consistent, successful production runs and labor-intensive failures.

The continuous ground-breaking advances in the aerospace industry put more and more pressure on nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment manufacturers to be proactively solving new inspection challenges. As such, the recent advances in eddy current array (ECA) have considerably expanded the range of components and assets that can be inspected for surface and near-surface flaws.

Aerospace has a large, diverse, global supply chain. It is also struggling to keep up with demand while maintaining the essential quality and conformity of the products and services. 

Battery manufacturing quality in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important with the growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.

Over the years, color quality control has evolved significantly, driven by advances in technology and changing industry needs.

While PAUT is becoming a popular approach for nondestructive inspections, it is important that users understand this technology, its limitations and how it should be applied.

“I was stunned to learn that the Titan submersible had supposedly not undergone any NDT testing.”

The vast digital loop across key domains that CT analysis can play a role in allows it to contribute critical insights back to design from embedded simulation and virtual metrology testing, as well as all phases of process examination and related refinements.

Your choice of leak test method and technology can make a substantial difference in the results of your test, affecting your throughput, repeatability, product quality, and cost.
