Ultrasound system listens for leaks

Article Abstract:

Propane gas cylinder manufacturer Manchester Tank of Crossville, TN decided to upgrade its leak inspection process with a new one developed jointly with UE Systems Inc of Elmsford, NY. The new ultrasonic leak detection system, which was refined over a two-year period, includes conveyors, a test chamber, and computer controls. Benefits from the new method include a 300% increase in testing speed, more stringent leak detection capabilities, and better customer safety.

GM Nameplate cuts first-article inspection time by 50%

Article Abstract:

GM Nameplate achieved first-article inspection accuracy by 0.0001 in. in half the time by using the Avant 600, a coordinate-measuring machine from Optical Gaging Products Inc. The system saves time as its programmability enables it to repeat the geometry of certain parts which it has been earlier introduced. Finally, in-house inspections performed by Avant 600 save money by eliminating the need for outside inspection services.
