Video Borescope
• Gradient Lens Corp., Rochester, N.Y. displayed its new Hawkeye V2 Video Borescope, which has brighter, higher resolution than older models. Te borescope provides detailed close-up views, and has a 2x zoom function and mirror image capability.
• Te borescope is equipped with a newly designed articula- tion mechanism and an increased range to +/-150 degrees.
Molten Metal Temperature Measurement
• Heraeus Electro-Nite, Langhorne, Pa., introduced its wire-free temperature liquid metal measurement device WiNite. Te portable system eliminates the requirement for lead wire between the lance and the measuring instru- ment, allowing the operator to safely take an immersion temperature when and where needed.
SOFTWARE Casting Simulation
• FlowCast from Finite Solutions Inc., Hamilton, Ohio, works with fluid flow models created by the company’s Solid- Cast module (Version 8.2 now available) to show how molten metal will move through the gating systems and fill a mold.
• It is based on the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow, showing progressive temperature, fluid velocity and pres- sure from any angle.
Casting Simulation • Magma5
from Magma Foundry Technologies, Scha- • Magma5
umburg, Ill, is designed to predict total casting quality by simulating mold filling, solidification and cooling, and, optionally, stresses/strains as well as microstructure formation and property distributions in casting manu- facturing processes.
can be used for all cast materials, ranging from gray iron, sand and die cast aluminum, to large steel castings.
Statistical Process Control • GSPC Laboratory Information Management from MeltLab Systems, Winchester, Va., collects data from the lab and melting area, and between sand and production. It generates reports and graphics with flagged problems and provides statistical analysis. Te GSPC lab system can be customized to suit specific operational needs.
