North Star Imaging (NSI), Rogers, Minn, recently opened an x-ray inspection services laboratory in Orlando, Fla. The facility houses a vault with a 9 million electron volt (MeV) high energy CT x-ray system capable of scanning very large dense parts used in aerospace and aviation.
Typical inspections include internal measurements, 3D CAD comparisons, void and/or porosity analysis, surface determinations for reverse engineering, finite element analysis, failure analysis and more.
The Florida lab is the first high energy computed tomography scanning service lab in the Southeastern U.S. for inspection of energetics and additive manufactured parts. The MevX9 High Energy system is capable of scanning larger and denser parts than ever before. This lab also includes an X5000 CT machine, capable of scanning parts up to 32” by 48”, and an X3000, capable of scanning parts up to 19.5” x 24”.
The business development team has a strong background in metrology and x-ray equipment. Customers can obtain expert advice and support for all of their x-ray inspection service needs and in the development of application specific solutions.
North Star Imaging is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ISO 14001:2015 certified, ITAR compliant, ASTM compliant, NAS 410 compliant, and compliant to DOD Manual 4145.26.
