Learn more about the efficiencies, reliability, and benefits of REL's modular designed Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) Systems:

What makes REL's Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection Systems efficient?

REL's FPI systems utilize electrostatic penetrant spray, which reduces penetrant usage by 90% compared to traditional immersion dipping methods. Additionally, process control features help reduce water usage, chemical consumption, and disposal costs. Automated processing increases throughput, thus requiring less manpower and maintenance.

How does REL ensure safety and reliability in their FPI systems?

REL's systems are designed to allow for safe operator intervention and verification throughout the inspection process. In case of a power outage, REL equipment is equipped with state-based recovery systems that pick up processing right where it left off. The systems also feature automatic process control to ensure consistent, reliable, and dependable flaw detection.

What are the benefits of REL's modular design in their FPI systems?

REL's FPI systems are modular in design, which maximizes plant floor space usage and allows for flexible station layouts to accommodate large part envelopes. This modularity also provides greater system flexibility for future expansion and optional add-on equipment, improving productivity with more throughput.
