 Core-Tech announced the installation of a new digital radiography unit in its main manufacturing facility, which it will utilize to x-ray and inspect the ceramic cores produced in its plant. The coremaker belives the digital radiography machine is the first of its kind to be used to inspect cores.
The radiography unit is capable of generating digital images up to 11 x 14 in. for viewing on a computer monitor. These digital images also can be transmitted electronically to the Core-Tech customer to be approved before the actual product is shipped.
"We're always looking for ways to improve our process," said Jim Corbett, president of Core-Tech. "This machine will alow us to detect internal defects to prevent product failures in our customers' production lines. Our ability to email the x-ray images to our customers will speed our rate of communication and significantly decrease any unseen interior defects."
Core-Tech provides precision ceramic cores for investment castings used mainly in the aerospace, automotive, commercial, gas turbine and medical markets. Cores can be manufactured in many compounds or blended to meet customer-specific needs. Core-Tech is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company.
