Upgrade of Midas rotary system

This is a rotary system originally manufactured by Meccasonics / Midas, following on an upgrade of a flat-bed system at the same manufacturer last year.

The original ultrasonic units have been replaced by a dual channel USL system and our SI10 systems interface board now provides the motion output to the scanning system motors. A new industrial computer with Windows 7 based “USL scanner” software has been installed – this now controls all the scanning, data acquisition and image processing functions.

The complete upgrade was carried out in a 3 day period, ensuring the minimum of interruption to the production process.
