Swimming Pool Inspection

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (PRWEB)
June 17, 2020

The track record of the MiniFlex plumbing camera is a story of how a modest investment prevented a huge financial loss. This compact, lightweight and portable camera, designed especially for narrow pipes with multiple bends, was able to locate a leakage in a swimming pool piping system in a Barbados hotel. Freshwater is scarce and expensive on the island, so fixing the issue saved the hotel management a lot of money, and let resort guests keep enjoying the pool and artificial waterfall without interruptions. The plumbing camera was rushed to Barbados when all other methods to detect the leaking spot within a complex and irregularly shaped piping failed. Once the problem area was successfully detected through visual inspection, the exact spot was located thanks to a signal transmitted by a sonde.

This compact and easy-to-use CCTV system was engineered to inspect narrow piping, such as bathroom and kitchen drains, swimming pools, hot tubs, showers, and sprinklers where larger diameter or less flexible push cables turn out to be useless.

MiniFlex comes with three cable length options, 65.6′ (20m), 100’ (30m) and 131′ (40m). The tiny 0.76″ (19.5 mm) camera head boasts a Color CMOS chip, 12 white high power LED lights and an integrated 512Hz sonde, which works with any locator of the same frequency. The cable and the camera head are water-resistant and able to withstand up to 3 Bar pressure. The patented flexi-tube neck of the cable performs extremely well while running through multiple 90 degrees bends in 1.5’’ pipes and larger and can even navigate a P-trap in a 1.25’’ PVC pipe.

The portable DVR unit of MiniFlex plumbing camera has dual power supply: it can operate on a rechargeable battery (up to 7 hours on a single charge) or use standard 110V AC. The DVR is equipped with a 5.6’’ color screen with 640×480 pixels display resolution. The recorded files are kept on a removable SD card, and the image recording resolution is 720×576 pixels.

Emerging display technologies (such as OLED, quantum dot, miniLED, and microLED) rely on increasingly small light-emitting elements for greater visual detail and control of display brightness, color, and contrast. As devices from televisions to smartphones to virtual reality displays increase dramatically in resolution and pixel density, measurement systems designed to provide display qualification must offer more sensor pixels to measure these displays accurately. Engineered to replicate the human eye’s sensitivity to light, imaging photometers are specialty visual inspection systems that provide highly accurate light source metrology for design and production of light sources, illuminated components, and display devices.

Released in May 2019, the ProMetric Y43 Imaging Photometer offers the highest-resolution scientific-grade CCD imaging sensor available in imaging photometers at 43 megapixels (8040 x 5360). The sensor is interline cooled to limit image noise for highly accurate, repeatable imaging. The high resolution of the ProMetric Y43 allows the camera to measure precise pixel and subpixel luminance output and calculate variations across display bright states, applying several CCD pixels per display pixel to enable measurement and pixel uniformity correction for today’s increasingly pixel-dense displays. The ProMetric Y43 system identifies and quantifies display qualities not discernable to human visual inspection or competitive measurement systems. The system completes measurements containing over 43 million data points in less than 1.5 seconds, providing the fastest photometric imaging solution for production-level applications such as in-line quality control and correction.

LXQ Fiber laser Marker

In the aftermath of COVID-19, our capacity to provide support regardless of physical barriers will be ever more important

QUEBEC CITY (PRWEB)
June 16, 2020

After 2 years of development, Laserax releases the LXQ Fiber Laser Marker series that redefines how easy and accessible laser system integration can be. The laser’s features are not only aimed at reducing integration time and cost, but also at facilitating collaboration between system integrators and laser experts—a key factor for quick and easy laser integration.

To break the barriers of laser expertise, the system has a remote connection capability that can grant control of the system to a Laserax expert or partner anywhere in the world. Relying on a secure cloud VPN, this allows laser experts to better support integrators and end-users through remote services such as installation, training, after-sales support and live demos.

“In the aftermath of COVID-19, our capacity to provide support regardless of physical barriers will be ever more important,” says Xavier Godmaire, President. “We will be able to do this through remote support and with a local presence ensured by system integrators and partners. The LXQ Series will foster close partnerships between Laserax and integrators. It will make their lives easier by bringing our laser expertise to them, regardless of where they are.”

Several features were developed to make system integration straightforward:

• 
  A web-based HMI can be displayed in any web browser for a quick control of the laser without programming.
• The system’s interfacing can be done using the most standard industrial protocols.
• Fully configured peripherals are ready to be used. Among them, a Cognex camera for barcode validation, an air-knife for lens protection, and 3D-Autofocus sensors for automatic adjustments.

Apart from laser marking, LXQ fiber lasers can treat any metal surface with laser cleaning, laser texturing, and laser hardening. This is a game changer for system integrators who no longer need to go to one supplier for laser marking, and another one for laser cleaning. They can integrate the same laser regardless of the application.

ABOUT LASERAX

Founded in 2010 by two laser physicists, Laserax provides manufacturing industries with cutting edge laser technology. Their laser solutions include OEM systems and engineered solutions for marking, cleaning, texturing, and hardening applications. With local partners all over the world, their global presence is rapidly growing.
