Alpetor Systems Product Applications

Alpetor Systems manufactures inspection, testing, and precision measurement technology used in r & d, quality control and production areas to insure defect-free, in-spec manufacturing, assembly and material non-conformance management … from the simplest to the most complex applications.

PLASTICS
A wide variety of plastic materials can be inspected to meet exacting tolerances, ensure quality and short lead times … including glass & carbon filled materials, rtm molding, multi-material pipe, pumps and valves. Gas assisted molding, insert molding, one shot/two shot injection molding, multi-level structural parts, silicone injection molding, metal to plastic conversions, sub-assemblies, complete assemblies, ultrasound/sonic welding, prototyping, reverse engineering.

ELECTRONICS
Hi-resolution, hi-magnification inspection of surface mount, thru-pin, thru-hole, pcb assemblies, membrane switches for the automotive, appliance, aircraft, aerospace, consumer, commercial, electronics, electrical, electro-mechanical assemblies, marine, medical, military & defense, telecommunications, and related industries.

CABLE & WIRE
Hi-contrast, non-destructive inspection of complete cable, wire and electro-mechanical assemblies including minature and micro-minature assemblies and connectors.

OPEN & CLOSED CELL FOAMS, FILTERS & LOW DENSITY MATERIALS:
Special low energy, hi-sensitivity components provide inspection capability to identify voids, density measurement, and foreign contamination in low density materials.

RUBBER MATERIALS, COMPONENTS & BONDING
Inspection of a wide variety of rubber materials, precision molded rubber components, rubber insert molding, rubber to metal bonding, rubber to plastic bonding for medical, electronic and commercial applications including injection, compression, and transfer molding.

CERAMICS
High reliability inspection of technical ceramics, including beryllia and composite materials from injection molding, grinding & machining, prototypes to production used in medical, aerospace, thermal shock, wear, corrosion, and electrical insulation applications.

MEDICAL DEVICES
Hi-resolution/hi-sensitivity imaging and inspection of a wide range of medical materials from polymers and silicones, elastomers to titaniums, used in medical components, surgical instruments, tubing & implantables insure the highest quality of your products. Stationary and on-line automated systems measure internal dimensions, bond integrity, pinpoint defects and provide hi-quality realtime non-invasive xray images, analysis and data collection with custom software.

DIECAST METALS
Non-destructive inspection of die casting for a variety of metals, prototype and production components, exotic materials for aerospace, automotive, medical and commercial castings. Quickly identify the presence and location of porosity and weld defects.

ULTRA SMALL PARTS & COMPONENTS
Hi-magnification, detailed inspection of ultra small parts in metals, plastics, composites, ceramics, difficult and exotic materials. Non-destructive density and thickness measurements of internal areas of interest provide valuable information not previously attainable.

INSPECTION OF ROBOTIC WELDING & ADHESIVE BONDING IN METALS, PLASTICS AND COMPOSITES
Identify voids, inadequate fill, accurately measure density and thickness.

INSPECTION OF FOOD, FOOD PROCESSING & FOOD PACKAGING
Non-invasively, non-destructively inspect for contamination, foreign materials, rotted product on line/in process as well as when food is packaged and boxed.

REALTIME DIGITAL MOTION STUDIES
Create realtime hi-resolution/hi-detail xray inspection motion studies of electronic/electrical components while under electrical load as well as equipment in operation. These motion studies are saved in digital format cine/avi files. These digital studies can be reviewed frame by frame for detailed analysis as well as played back at normal or fast forward speeds. Motion studies can be stored on the hardrive, emailed over the internet and saved on cd.

PACKAGE TESTING & EVALUATION
Utilize the realtime xray technology to non-invasively inspect package contents after drop tests and other testing for condition and damage assessment without disturbing the contents by having to move and open packaging for visual inspection. Motion studies can be used for failure analysis.

SECURITY INSPECTION
Non-invasively, non-destructively inspect envelopes, packages, containers/boxes for hazardous powders, liquids, knives, guns, illegal contraband . Hard copy documentation of the inspection findings are in digital format to print, email or save on cd.

Our goal is to help you concentrate on your primary business while we provide you with the expertise and access to technology that will support your project requirements.

We can help at any step in the process. We encourage you to come to us at early design and manufacturing stages to reduce set up times and assure that your components will be produced in a consistent, hi-quality, on time manner, insuring defect-free, in-spec manufacturing and assembly.

We help manufacturers in many industries improve product quality, boost productivity, reduce waste, identify part imperfections and take corrective actions.
