A Safer Place for All of Us
Most of us may not realize it in our daily lives, but inspection technology contributes to keeping all of us safe, every day of the year—from assembly lines to highways, from processing plants to city streets, from manufacturing facilities to living rooms across the globe.
Whether Evident technology is being used to inspect manufactured parts before they leave production or components that have undergone heavy use in the field, we’re playing a vital role in making sure that the environment around us is safe. And whatever the industry, it’s about more than just the application at hand—it’s about how that application will affect society as a whole. Wherever you go, Evident is making the world a safer place for all of us.
Evident’s handheld XRF analyzers are used for a range of inspection applications including regulatory and safety screening, manufacturing QA/QC, environmental assessments, and material analysis. If you’ve ever given your child or pet a squishy toy, XRF technology was likely used to test it for harmful chemicals. XRF analyzers are also used to scan cosmetics and skin care products for dangerous mercury levels.
Designed for industrial inspection in hard-to-reach areas, Evident industrial borescopes and remote visual equipment are used to perform nondestructive visual inspections inside of mechanical structures and are ideal for inspecting complex machinery, piping, and engines. The next time you drive your car or fly on a plane you can rest assured that its engine was inspected with an industrial borescope system, which allows high-resolution visual inspection of mechanical areas impossible to access without advanced remote technology.
Evident’s nondestructive phased array ultrasonic testing systems and eddy current flaw detectors are used to locate and size hidden cracks, weaknesses, and other discontinuities in a range of materials. If you’ve ever wondered if roller coasters are dangerous, know that nondestructive testing (NDT) is used to inspect amusement park rides around the world. Both ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ECT) are used to inspect ride components when the ride is built and for maintenance throughout its lifetime. Evident’s UT systems are also used for a variety of rail industry inspections around the world, ensuring that railway passengers arrive safely at their destination.
Critical tools in ensuring the safety of society, Evident industrial microscopes are used to inspect automotive components, analyze the safety of steel, and test plastic products for safe use.
If you drive an electric car, you’ll feel better knowing that these microscopes are used for the inspection of lithium-ion batteries, which need to be carefully inspected to avoid overheating and the risk of fire or explosion, as well as electric car motors, power control units, electronics, and semiconductors. Technical cleanliness systems are also used in the inspection of oil and gas pipelines, power generation facilities, and steel plants—environments where safety is paramount.
