Non-Destructive Test Inspection System

Signalysis, Inc. offers Dinger, its non-destructive test (NDT) inspection system that combines inexpensive computer power with new transducer and digital signal processing (DSP) technology. Designed for inspection of raw or machined metal cast, fabricated, sintered, forged, die cast or ceramic parts, Dinger provides manufacturers with a solution to quickly and reliably identify parts with global or local manufacturing defects.

Dinger gives users the option of maintaining historical data, or a simple go/no-go for those who want to keep track of data for statistical process control. There are also a number of options for serializing historical data, including several sophisticated statistical analysis options.

"Most engineers are familiar with the concept of mechanical design with specific static load requirements to ensure stability and safety," said Signalysis President and CEO Neil Coleman. "All structures, automobiles, airplanes and so on will exhibit a mechanical vibration signature reflecting its material properties. The Dinger applies a known excitation force and measures vibration to identify the resonance frequencies of the structure. One might assume that all manufactured parts are built to design and created equal. However, in the real world this is not the case, because a component occasionally does not meet design specifications. Such defects can easily be identified and measured by computing a frequency response function and extracting parameters such as resonance frequency, percent critical damping, Q-factor and even a more complex matrix of these modal parameters. The Dinger has been designed to have a smaller footprint, a higher frequency range with additional math functions for modeling the most complex of applications."

Dinger is built on Signalysis SigQC production test software. SigQC analyzes components, subassemblies and products to determine, in real-time, if quality goals are met. The system can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines, providing a completely automated pass-fail inspection solution. Flexible and scalable, SigQC adapts to meet current and future production and laboratory applications.
