Database System for Mag Particle Wet Benches

Database System for Mag Particle Wet Benches

Learn how this process-control and efficiency upgrade for magnetic particle testing helps NDT pros improve quality with less time

October 24, 2017

The Database System for Magnaflux wet bench machines improves NDT process control and efficiency by providing traceability for parts, jobs, customers, operators, and more.

Multiple levels of user-controlled access and 100 programmable operator profiles ensure consistency and prevent accidental modifications, ideal for locations with multiple operators and various levels of experience.

The integrated barcode scanner speeds up inspections and minimizes errors by reducing manual data entry, such as part selection and test parameter settings.

Database System Barcode Scanner

Switching between jobs is fast and easy with the barcode scanner since new test parameters are automatically set when the operator scans in the next job.

Learn more about the Database System

Database System Reporting

Electronic database tracking reduces the need for operators to manually record inspection data.

The Database System automatically compiles all test information in a Microsoft SQL database, for advanced quality control tracking and reporting options.

Database System QC Reporting

Electronic reporting reduces dependency on manual recording keeping for safer, more reliable trackability of Nadcap audit criteria and other compliance requirements.

The Database System will take your NDT quality to the next level, while saving time and increasing through-put.
