Core-Tech Installs Digital Radiography Machine In Facility

New digital radiography unit in the main manufacturing facility will be utilized to x-ray and inspect the ceramic cores manufactured in their plant.

MENTOR, Ohio -- Core-Tech announces the installation of a new digital radiography unit in their main manufacturing facility and will utilize the unit to x-ray and inspect the ceramic cores manufactured in their plant. It is believed that this digital radiography machine is the first unit of its kind to be used in the inspection process in the coremaking industry.

The unit is capable of generating digital images up to 11 x 14” for viewing on a computer monitor. These digital images can also be transmitted electronically to the Core-Tech customer to be approved before the actual product is shipped.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve our processes,” says Jim Corbett, president of Core-Tech, “and this machine will allow us to detect any internal defects to prevent product failures in our customer’s production lines. Our ability to email the x-ray images to our customers will speed our rate of communication and significantly decrease any unseen interior defeats.”

Core-Tech is one of the leading providers of precision ceramic cores for investment castings occurring for mainly the aerospace, automotive, commercial, gas turbine and medical markets.
