The Irvine, Calif. facility has tripled the local lab size and will offer increased technical support capabilities.

The new events will feature a blend of education, applications, and technology innovation, particularly in the areas of digital manufacturing, automation, MTConnect and the Industrial IoT. Mirroring the industry trend of regionalized manufacturing in the U.S., each event will include a mix of topics and technologies that are of specific interest to that region.

This total was down 16.2 percent from June’s $175.35 million and down 17.2 percent when compared with the total of $177.51 million reported for July 2015.

The two companies look to enhance their customers' experience by jointly supporting device OEMs, plant equipment OEMs and system integrators with a team of researchers that are continually producing best of breed solutions for demanding imaging applications. 

More than 30,000 new aircraft are expected to be required in the next 15-20 years, replacing existing in-service models and also to expand airlines' fleets as the number of air travelers increases.

The use of computed tomography (CT scanning) for dimensional inspection is rapidly expanding as companies discover how this technology is the best solution for a wide range of dimensional inspection, flaw detection, and assembly verification applications. 

Why leak test? Leak testing is performed to ensure that when in service, the component or assembly has zero leakage or a leakage that is acceptable over time for the fluid/gas that it is meant to contain, or conversely to prevent material on the outside from leaking in.

When Exact Metrology bought an industrial computed tomography scanner, it opened the door to inspection services for the aerospace industry.

When it comes to testing aerospace components, the costs of imperfections go far beyond the financial. Thus it is critical that nondestructive testing (NDT) for aerospace vehicles and parts is made foolproof in finding even the tiniest hint of damage or defect.

Aircraft are the backbone of several industries and, as such, are subjected to intense and near-continuous use, making preventive maintenance critical. Maintenance protocols are exhaustive, but time-consuming, especially when fuselage and wing longerons are involved.
