Kaman Bluetooth ParallelProâ„¢ Increases Efficiency and Service Life in CVD Process Control

Ideal for process control, upgraded product delivers precise measurements to app for analysis via Bluetooth communication

Middletown, CT - The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products, Inc., the world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance position measurement systems, announces the release of its new upgraded ParallelPro™ leveling tool, designed for use in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes. Wireless communications and a field-serviceable battery pack make ParallelPro™ the most flexible and cost-effective product of its kind on the market.


Designed initially for leveling in CVD processes but useful for process control in any equipment requiring precise parallelism, the ParallelPro™ measures offset distance, parallelism, and temperature. Measurements are transmitted via Bluetooth to any tablet running a dedicated app, which also gives users the ability to save and analyze calibration data. The user-friendly graphic interface also allows users to customize display units and calibration parameters.

The ParallelPro™ is an upgraded version of Kaman's proven leveling tool legacy design, incorporating modern communications, signal processing, and power management technologies to increase functionality and extend product service life. Additionally, the high-capacity battery pack is specially designed for vacuum environments, providing safe, extended battery life and a high number of charge cycles. In high-precision process control settings like CVD processes, where calibration with the tool can be required several times a day on each machine, the new tool's robust design and reduced service needs increase overall production efficiency and uptime.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
