Surface crack testing
THE multifunctional UV LEd large area
lamp from Karl deutsch is best suited
for stationary object testing. It covers
both the visualisation of fluorescent
testing media as used for penetrant
testing and magnetic particle testing by
means of UV-light and the visualisation
of non-fluorescent media, eg red-white
penetrant, using white light. At the push
of a button it changes from ultraviolet to
white light.
The 20 UV-high power LEds
provide a very high endurance. The
UV-A-radiation is sharply limited to a
wavelength of 365nm, thus excluding
any danger due to UV-b and UV-C
radiation, even in the case of defective
protection glasses. UV-filter glasses
are not necessary due to the applied
LED technique. The operational heat
is dissipated via the anodised black
cooling body on the upper side of the
aluminium housing. No ambient noise
occurs due to the construction without
ventilating fans. The lamp contains an
internal protection against overheating.
According to necessary light intensity
and illumination mode several lamps
can be connected in series and switched
from any lamp.
The associated power supply unit
provides the power for up to two lamps.
A power supply unit for six lamps is
available optionally.

Winton Machine announce
cut to length line
WINTON Machine has announced
its new CNC wet abrasive machine
designed to cut hard metals.
The model CTL-12A is a free-standing
all-electric cutoff machine that cuts
material such as stainless and Inconel.
These are just a few of the metals
suited for this cutting process. Originally
designed for cutting tubing, it is well
suited for solid rods as well.
The cutting process makes use of a
thin 9" diameter abrasive wheel. The
constant flood coolant helps make sure
the cut is near clean with minimal burr.
The cut lengths are programmable
on the fly. Just enter the length and
press the cycle button and production
starts.
