From checking the integrity of aircrafts’ aluminum skin with eddy current flaw detectors to using phased array technology for full volumetric inspection of complex composite parts to looking inside jet engines for cracks and other flaws using remote visual inspection videoscopes, our technology helps inspectors keep aircraft operating safely.

Inspection solutions in automobile manufacturing ensure machined components, like transmissions, are free of contaminants, detect imperfections in hard-to-reach areas, and verify adhesive bonds and welded seams. This rigorous inspection program is vital for automobile safety and reliability.

Metal manufacturers use inline and handheld inspection solutions to verify component quality and raw material composition. XRF analyzers ensure correct alloy usage, industrial microscopes measure grain size, and flaw detectors identify near-surface and volumetric defects in tubes and bars.

As electronics shrink, inspecting microcircuits and semiconductor wafers becomes challenging. Manufacturers use high-quality microscopes to inspect soldered connections, PCB wires, and contaminants, and noncontact laser confocal microscopes to measure component roughness.

Law enforcement officers need advanced inspection tools for efficiency and safety. Videoscopes visually search hard-to-access areas like sealed cargo containers, while X-ray fluorescence and diffraction analyzers identify the chemistry of suspicious substances. These technologies, along with high-powered microscopes, are also used in forensic analysis to solve crimes.

Plastic is a fundamental building block for a wide variety of products. Many manufacturers order parts and components from plastic companies that must meet very specific guidelines for factors such as thickness, roughness, and texture. Plastic manufacturers rely on nondestructive testing to measure these critical characteristics so that they can meet the needs of their customers.
