45 July /August 2007
Olympus NDT, USA, provider of non-
destructive testing (NDT) technologies,
has launched its latest OmniScan-based
NDT solution. An OmniScan two-channel
ultrasound B-scan corrosion mapping kit, it
includes the OmniScan MX UT instrument,
the manual Remote Scan B-scan position
encoder, TomoView Lite software, and a
dual-UT probe.
The kit provides inspectors with easy-to-
read cross-sectional images of material
thinning due to internal corrosion in pipe or
tank walls. Thickness measurements can
be made as spot checks or one-line scans
on ferrous steel structures, plates, pipes,
and more.
Features include bi-directional, uni-
directional and manual scan modes.
Simultaneous A-scan and B-scan views
are offered, together with high scanning
resolution, fast scanning rate, and an
automatic visual alarm.
The modular OmniScan MX platform can
host a number of acquisition modules
New chipless cut-off system
T-Drill, USA, has launched the TCJ-50 tube cut-off system. This product extends the
company’s chipless rotary cut-off technology into a small, bench mounted system
designed for short production runs from straight tube.
The TCJ-50 is capable of cutting copper,
steel, aluminium and stainless steel
tube from 3/8" to 21/ 8" diameters without
any tool changes. The tube being cut
remains stationary and enclosed, and
the cut produces no flying chips and
no fragments like traditional chop saws. The system is suitable for prototype shops,
mechanical contractors, and any application requiring JIT capability.
