Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing organization today announced its partnership with California-based Creative Electron Inc. for the NDT product portfolio.
Launched in 2008, Creative Electron manufactures and distributes high performance, off-the-shelf and custom X-ray inspection systems, made in the United States. These systems are used for quality assurance, material conformity and counterfeit detection in a wide range of applications. Creative Electron’s unique algorithms give new life to X-ray images.
Carestream’s partnership with Creative Electron will enable both companies to expand reach and increase their product portfolio in order to meet growing demands of the non-destructive testing industry.
Carestream has launched several new products into the NDT market, building on 100 years of imaging excellence. The newest addition to the company’s portfolio is the HPX-DR Non-Glass detector, which uses a tougher material instead of glass for maximum durability. With high-resolution output in the lab or the field, the HPX-DR eliminates costly repairs for broken glass. It uses the same INDUSTREX software in other Carestream NDT digital products.
Carestream’s HPX-1 Plus uses the industry-leading CR system HPX-1 designed for the rigors of the NDT work with improved PMTs for better image quality, high-resolution 25 microns scanning and increased throughput for higher productivity. The HPX-PRO is the industry’s first lightweight narrow-width scanner designed for portability and field use. It has scan resolutions down to 25 microns, can run on battery power and offers productivity equal to manual film processing.

The Death of the Microsection

My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.
