Perfect Duo for Tackling Corrosion & Leakage
Posted: 2025-4-24Cygnus 1 Ex for Corrosion Inspection
Storage structures such as storage tanks and pipelines constantly exposed to fluids, chemicals, or heat are highly susceptible to corrosion. To mitigate this, storage structures are often coated with protective coatings. However, these protective coatings present obstacles to corrosion monitoring and inspection. To combat this issue, Cygnus Surface Range of Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges (UTGs) all read through coatings of up to 20mm thick – which means there is no need ...Read More.
STRAHL HD Well Camera Now Features a Larger Screen and Built-In Keyboard

Phase3D Fringe Inspection Solution for Aerospace Additive Manufacturing
Posted: 2025-4-15In additive manufacturing, even minor inconsistencies can lead to costly part failures. One aerospace prime in the U.S. faced a frustrating qualification issue with a laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF) component printed on an EOS M270. Despite multiple attempts, parts were failing post-build due to non-consistent porosity and nonconforming internal geometries. The root cause wasn’t immediately clear, and flipping through standard machine images made it nearly impossible to catch the issue in real-time or during...Read More.
