Evaluating and testing the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
In the absence of a standard thermal conductivity test for thermo reflective insulants, we are able to evaluate and test the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
Innovative construction materials
We have a strong track record of undertaking research and development for the creation of new materials from waste. We can also apply corrosion prevention methodologies to extend a product's life and have developed new coatings, all meeting environmental legislation, for a range of innovative applications.
Value stream mapping
Value Stream Mapping provides a diagrammatic depiction of the entire supply chain to ensure a complete and shared understanding of what is happening at the different stages within it
Depth profiling using Raman microscopy - Confocal mode
The removal of light from outside the 'focal plane' coupled to an accurately controlled sample stage allows non-destructive depth profiling with a resolution of 2 µm using a x100 microscope objective
Optical imaging and analysis systems
The Eifeler Image Analysis Suite is a comprehensive imaging system consisting of an Olympus BX40 high magnification optical microscope linked via a CCD camera to a dedicated PC
Microscopy
In some instances, microscopy can give useful information regarding the extent or mode of corrosion degradation or failure
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks.
