Intelligent Inline Seam Inspection for Automated Laser Welding Garching, Germany, September 16, 2025 – Blackbird Robotersysteme GmbH, manufacturer of system solutions for remote laser welding, has expanded its range of functions to include optical coherence tomography (OCT) for automated weld seam inspection. The fully inline-capable solution enables contactless detection and classification of seam defects in real time – without affecting cycle times or welding results. The combination of multi-stage inspection logic, PLC integration, and flexible adaptability to diffe ...Read More.
The Safest Corrosion Gauge for Mining Dust explosions can cause severe damage and fatalities. When ignition sources enter hazardous areas, heat and pressure may trigger explosions—an ongoing risk across any industries that store, handle, or process materials. In coal mines, when rock is crushed and damaged in transportation, it disperses dust. What’s more, coal mining releases methane gas which collects in coal rock over millennia. Methane gas is highly flammable and is equally prone to explosion. How Can Cygnus 1 Ex Help? Ignition sou ...Read More.
Semiconductor Failure Analysis Machine The reliability of integrated circuit (IC) packaging largely depends on its mechanical integrity. Structural defects such as poor adhesion, voids, micro-cracks, or delamination may not be immediately visible in electrical performance but can significantly reduce device lifespan and cause premature failure. ...Read More.

Carestream Launches the INDUSTREX Fieldview Tablet ROCHESTER, N.Y., August 26 — Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group, a global leader in NDT technology, today announced the launch of the INDUSTREX Fieldview Tablet, a rugged industrial tablet designed to simplify digital radiographic (DR) imaging in the field. With the INDUSTREX Fieldview Tablet, radiographers can validate imaging compliance right at the inspection point, eliminating the need to return to previous locations for retakes. Radiographers can easily verify proper positioning, vali ...Read More.
FLIR Advances Shape Memory Alloy Analysis Revealing the Hidden Heat How FLIR Empowers Advanced NiTi Alloy Research at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique metal alloys that can be stretched or bent when cold and hold the shape only to return to their original shape when heated. This makes NiTi SMAs useful for a wide-range of devices: surgical implants, anti-scald valves, motorized actuators, and more. Because SMAs respond to heat, researchers rely on infrared cameras to help bette ...Read More.

How Furnace Inspections with IR Cameras Increase Efficiency Furnaces play a critical role in refining and petrochemical operations, providing the high temperatures required for essential processes. When they fail, the consequences can be severe both in terms of safety and operational losses. A single day of unplanned downtime can result in losses exceeding $1 million. This is why companies like PROtect, under the leadership of Jason Czajkowski, are leveraging modern infrared (IR) technologies to conduct smarter, safer, and more cost-effective furnace inspections ...Read More.
