WIRE-AOI Optical Inspection System Detects Micro-Defects in Strip Products in Real Time

The wire blank shoots from the drawing die which molds it into the desired shape. Up to ten meters per second, the workpiece is fast – and thus can keep pace with world-class runners like Usain Bolt. At these speeds, an in-line inspection – inspecting the workpiece during the production process – would have been inconceivable, until now.

$McPherson Introduces New Conical-Diffraction, Off-Plane X-ray Czerny-Turner$

McPherson Introduces New Conical-Diffraction, Off-Plane X-ray Czerny-Turner

For sorting laser harmonics and other applications, McPherson (Chelmsford, MA) is pleased to present a new conical-diffraction, off-plane X-ray Czerny-Turner (OP-XCT). Designed for operation from 8 to 125 nm (10 to 150 eV), the OP-XCT operates as a monochromator or imaging spectrograph. With a coarse diffraction grating and CCD, it can survey a very broad EUV wavelength swath, dispersing from 10 to 140 nm on a detector 12 mm wide.
