Kodak GmbH, the European unit of the U.S.-based Eastman Kodak Co., introduced at the show a nondestructive testing (NDT) device that is designed to reuse a digital plate to provide data on the quality of welded items.

Kodak's NDT unit digitizes x-ray data from the reusable plate so that the information can be directly entered into computer programs for efficient monitoring, according to Rolf Keck-Michaeli, sales manager for NDT for Aerial and Industrial Markets for Kodak GmbH.

The machine was adopted from similar products in the healthcare industry, is designed to work with any x-ray system, and is highly portable, so it can be used in the field or in shops, he said.
