SPS Inspection Systems provide a wide range
of custom and standard products for the Non
Destructive Testing and Examination (NDT&E)
of a diverse array of materials.
Digital Radiography (DR), typically using
Linear Detector Arrays (LDAs) is often used to
provide quality control for the inspection of
raw materials into production process, varying
from the inspection of timber (for stones and
nails) prior to cutting into planks to the
inspection of aluminium and magnesium bar (for
inclusions such as Tungsten) prior to the
casting of aerospace componets.
Real Time Radiography (RTR) is also used for
the manual inspection of larger sheet materials
and composites
Computed Tomography (CT) is principally used
for the inspection of new materials such as
ceramics and metal foams, but is also used for
the inspection of composites such as glass and
carbon fibre. Applications include:
- Raw materials, timber, powders, aggregates,
etc.
- Material inspection during production,
metal, plastics, timber products, paper and
card.
- Feedstock materials such as metal and
plastic, billet, bar, rod and sheet.
- Material Bonding & Adhesives, Liquid
Polymers, Glues
- Composite Materials, Glass Fibre, Carbon
Fibre, Mixed Materials (Metal / Plastic)
- Advanced Materials & Structures,
Ceramics, Honeycomb, Foams, Powders.
