MSI Viking has announced a new commercial partnership with Waygate Technologies, a leading provider of nondestructive testing (NDT) solutions for industrial inspection. Through this agreement, MSI Viking will serve as an official channel partner for Waygate’s industrial computed tomography (CT) systems across the U.S. market. This collaboration enables MSI Viking to offer advanced solutions for both dimensional metrology and NDT, catering to a broad spectrum of industrial applications including lightweight casting inspections, composite material analysis, battery cell defect detection, and precision validation of medical components.
Shared Commitment to Precision Manufacturing
Both companies emphasize a mutual dedication to advancing precision and quality within manufacturing processes. MSI Viking, with its exclusive focus on metrology, is well-positioned to integrate Waygate Technologies’ industrial X-ray and CT systems into holistic solutions that enhance process control and product integrity.
Eric Luzier, Senior Director of Engineering and Solution Strategy at MSI Viking, highlighted the significance of this alliance: “This channel partnership marks a pivotal step as we expand our portfolio of advanced measurement solutions. Our metrology expertise combined with Waygate’s state-of-the-art industrial CT technology allows us to deliver unparalleled value. While dimensional control remains central, we will also harness the full range of NDT products for critical applications such as defect detection and material integrity evaluation.”
Revolutionizing Metrology with X-Ray CT Technology
With over 125 years of experience in advanced imaging, Waygate Technologies leverages its renowned Phoenix and Seifert product lines to transform dimensional control in metrology. Industrial X-ray CT has become a groundbreaking tool, offering unmatched capabilities for measuring intricate geometries, verifying tolerances, and conducting thorough quality control inspections.
Unlike traditional tactile or optical methods, X-ray CT provides comprehensive, non-destructive insights into both external and internal features of components with exceptional accuracy, often in a single scan. This technology is especially vital for sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and energy, where precision and reliability are paramount.
Key Advantages of X-Ray CT in Metrology
- Enhanced Dimensional Control: Enables precise measurement of complex internal and external geometries in compliance with GD&T standards.
- Improved Efficiency: Facilitates non-destructive inspection through single-scan processes, reducing time and costs in quality assurance.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Combines defect detection and dimensional verification to help manufacturers optimize product quality and streamline processes.
This strategic partnership between MSI Viking and Waygate Technologies positions both companies at the forefront of industrial metrology innovation, driving forward the future of precision manufacturing and nondestructive testing.
