HEIGHT GAP OF INKJET PRINTERS
Industry Consumer Electronics Applications Height Gap Of Inkjet Printers Measurement Type Positioning Description Introduction: Inkjet printers require a certain distance between the inkjet print head and the paper. If the distance is set incorrectly, the printed images get blurry. Current state of the art printers have the print head nozzles built right into the bottom of the ink reservoir (B) as shown below. When the ink cartridge is installed in the printer, the inkjet nozzles (made out of silicon) essentially become a grounded target through the connections shown at [...]
NUCLEAR HEAT EXCHANGER VIBRATION
Power plants, particularly nuclear power plants, require heat exchangers to cool down the primary working fluid for the power plant. Excessive vibration can lead to cracking and premature failure of the heat exchanger. Problem: A major power plant company approached MTI looking for a sensor that could measure vibration of a heat exchanger assembly that was immersed under water. Additionally, the water could reach 250 F and up to 220 PSI; the probe had to be sealed with a gland at a bulkhead feed through area. Solution: MTI developed a special fiber optic probe based on the MTI-2125H probe configuration. The [...]

ADE/KLA Ultra Gage 9500 Replacement Guide: Issues and Opportunities For Companies Considering the Proforma 300iSA as a 9500 Replacement
Technical Review: This guide is based on verified specifications from semiconductor equipment manufacturers, industry standards organizations (ASTM/SEMI), and equipment documentation. All technical claims are referenced to authoritative sources. If you're seeking information regarding the ADE UltraGage 9500, KLA UltraGage 9500, or KLA Tencor 9500, you've likely discovered that this wafer metrology system is no longer in production. As support continues to decline, semi facilities operating these systems face a critical challenge: determining the most suitable replacement solution. The MTI Instruments Proforma 300iSA represents a direct and modern alternative, offering not only a comparable replacement but also substantial improvements over [...]

Whitepaper: The Future of Cable Testing: Why Intelligent Automation is Replacing Manual Validation
Introduction Cable assemblies are evolving rapidly as products become more compact, more powerful, and more connected. Today’s designs often operate at higher voltages while fitting into smaller packaging envelopes, forcing engineers to balance electrical performance with limited physical space. At the same time, many assemblies now include a greater number of conductors and increasingly combine mixed signal and power paths within a single harness. Environmental demands are also rising. Cable systems may need to withstand vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, chemicals, or continuous motion depending on the application. Alongside these technical requirements, manufacturers face growing expectations for stronger quality documentation [...]

Standardizing Electrical Safety Testing Across Global Aerospace Manufacturing
Introduction Modern aerospace manufacturing demands more than accurate electrical safety testing. As production programs expand across multiple facilities worldwide, manufacturers must ensure every product is tested using identical procedures while maintaining complete traceability and documentation. For one of the world’s leading business jet manufacturers, introducing a newly developed electronic device into global production required a standardized electrical safety testing solution.. The device required dielectric withstand (hipot) and insulation resistance (IR) testing before deployment at manufacturing sites around the world. Because production personnel had limited experience with high-voltage electrical safety testing, the company needed a solution that was easy to [...]

Automating Complex Cable Testing with the Vitrek V10X and 964i
Introduction Cable assemblies are no longer simple pass/fail products. Modern harnesses may contain dozens—or hundreds—of conductors, shielding paths, insulation systems, and termination points. Testing them manually is slow, labor intensive, and prone to inconsistency. The combination of the Vitrek V10X Hipot Tester and Vitrek 964i High Voltage Switching System creates a modern automated platform for validating cable safety and integrity with higher speed and repeatability. The Challenge Manufacturers of advanced cable assemblies are under constant pressure to improve quality while keeping production moving. Many products now use large pin-count connectors and complex multi-conductor designs that require access to numerous [...]

Application Note: Modernizing a Legacy Military Avionics Test System with a Programmable GaGe High-Speed Digitizer
Introduction Across military and aerospace maintenance operations, many proven test systems remain in service decades after their original deployment. These systems often support critical certification procedures, validated workflows, and platform-specific compliance tests that are costly or impractical to replace. While the airframes and missions may evolve, the test infrastructure built around them often remains indispensable. The challenge arises when key instruments inside those systems become obsolete. Aging oscilloscopes, digitizers, controllers, and interface hardware can create maintenance burdens, calibration issues, and long-term support risks. Replacing them is rarely simple. In regulated or mission-critical environments, a modern instrument must not only [...]
