Versatile, rugged cylinders—when you need them

One potential application is for oilfield sensors. Traditionally, in this application, when cutting, separating, and assembling lithium niobate wafers into sensor housing, only a small percentage prove to be good in the field. The challenge is determining which wafers are defective before incorporation into products.

For this type of application, the SAM VUE400 from OKOS is suitable to detect bad wafers before use in an electromechanical device. The medium-sized SAM system designed for lab use or manufacturing floors is traditionally used to detect voids, disbands, cracks, delamination, and internal defects in semiconductor package failure analysis.

The SAM equipment can inspect various items with unique product geometry or sizes, from crystal ingots, wafers, and electronics packages to miniature physical packaging, metal bar/ rods/billets, turbine blades, and more. However, as important as the physical and mechanical aspects of conducting a scan, the software is the key to analyzing the information to produce detailed scans.

Our NFPA interchangeable pneumatic cylinders take the guesswork out of cylinder selection.

We design and manufacture our NFPA cylinders in Gainesville, Florida—so expect fast delivery, supply chain resilience and local support no matter your application.

Built tough, our NFPA actuators feature anodized aluminum heads and barrels and stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance. They also incorporate high-strength composite rod bearings and PTFE piston wear bands for superior load handling and long service life. Choose from 19 standard mounting options and hundreds of standard configurable options to meet the requirements of almost any application. Standard catalog not enough?

For this reason, “OKOS decided early on to deliver a software-driven, ecosystem-based solution,” said Polu. The company’s ODIS Acoustic Microscopy software supports a wide range of transducer frequencies from 2.25 to 230 MHz. Multi-axis scan options enable A, B, and C-scans, contour following, o ine analysis, and virtual rescanning for metals, alloys, and composites.

Today, manufacturers have the potential to save significant amounts of money per year in oilfield sensors or similar applications by detecting and eliminating defective lithium niobate wafers before use in high-value, electromechanical sensors. These savings stem from screening at the wafer level, which prevents packaging and shipping bad products. The total does not even account for substantially improved wafer yields. DW
