The iNSIde View

We scan a lot of amazing things at North Star Imaging and one of the more interesting things we scan are small electric motors. They are complex assemblies so in order to identify the root cause of failure we must identify all the components the motor is connected to.

Have you ever wondered about how modern science in today’s industries safeguard our lives? Let’s take a closer look at nondestructive testing and how it aids in that process by using industrial digital X-ray scanning for early detection to gauge a parts quality and integrity.

Industrial Micro-Computed Tomography for archaeologists, arts experts, museums and more.  A very powerful and non-destructive technique to examine the inside of an object in 3 dimensions.The increase in capabilities of CT has led to industrial CT scanners being used more often and in more ways than ever before.Within the different worldwide NSI Inspection Service labs, we have seen a tremendous growth of CT scanning requests coming from various industries…

In today’s competitive global market, engineers are faced with the ever growing challenge of balancing the functionality, complexity, reliability, safety, aesthetics and cost of a product’s design while bringing it to market faster than anyone has done before. Digital radiography (DR) and Computed Tomography (CT) give the modern engineer tools like no other. Analysis, reverse engineering, model building and communication all benefit from DR &CT X-ray technology.
