As part quality has gone up, it has become essential to provide not only the most complete dimensional data on a given part, but also other detectable data like simple contamination, porosities, scratches, discolorations, cracks, and other types of potential surface defects… especially in automotive powertrains.

Eddyfi Technologies announced the latest release of M2M Capture. Natively embedded on both M2M Gekko and M2M Mantis PAUT flaw detectors, Capture v2.3 offers new advanced features and dedicated tools to improve the user experience and speed up NDT inspection.

According to ASTM E1316-17a and NET.net, a flaw is defined as ‘‘an imperfection or discontinuity that may be detectable by nondestructive testing and is not necessarily rejectable.” 

The new corrosion software module for the EPOCH® 6LT ultra-portable flaw detector expands the in-strument’s capabilities with a suite of features to help you take fast, accurate and reproducible thickness measurements.

New relationship provides enhanced technical support and improved customer service.

Optimized for single-handed operation, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector combines a leading-edge ergo-nomic design with powerful ultrasonic functionality in an instrument built specifically for rope access and high portability applications.

We test our products to ensure that they ship without defects. This helps reduce our scrap and warranty costs, and above all, create and deliver products that meet our customers’ needs.

The current trends in manufacturing can be summed up pretty much as they always have been: more for less. In other words, manufacturers always want to be able to do more with less.

The words were right there in the footnotes of the engineering drawing: “Must inspect with eddy current.” Yet, there were no indications of what areas of the component were to be inspected, and there were no notes specifying what the eddy current test was supposed to do. Find cracks? Verify heat treat? Check threads?

In keeping with its mission to continuously improve non-destructive testing technologies, UniWest has introduced the new EVi eddy current testing system. Developed in response to industry demand for a portable, high precision, operator-friendly eddy current system, the EVi augments UniWest’s best-in-class signal to noise ratio technology with real-time imaging of the surface under inspection.
