VJ-3 & VJ-4 Video Borescope:

The VJ-3 and VJ-4 mechanical articulating video borescopes are nondestructive visual testing instruments used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 and VJ-4 facilitate the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 and VJ04 video borescopes consist of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes:

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Fluid Metering Inc. Announces the Launch of the FDD Direct Drive Pump Series

SYOSSET, N.Y. -- Fluid Metering Inc. (FMI), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of precision fluid control solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of its portfolio to address today's demanding microfluidic applications.

Introducing FMI Direct Drive (FDD): a compact, linearly driven, ceramic piston pump, capable of dispensing less than 1 microliter with exceptional precision, accuracy and zero mechanical backlash. A vastly optimized driving mechanism means the FDD has only THREE moving components. Plus, FMI's distinct CeramPump® technology ensures a longer lifetime and superior chemical inertness in comparison to anything in the marketplace today.

An extremely fine pitched, high-precision lead screw means the FMI Direct Drive piston has a linear resolution of under 0.0002 inches (two tenths of a thousandth). In addition, a built-in rotary encoder allows for accurate positional feedback with a resolution of less than 0.1 inches. All of this with a maintenance free, efficient, and robust design for easy setup and system integration.

Through the use of Fluid Metering's CeramPump® technology, the FDD Direct Drive provides microfluidic control solutions to accelerate product development suited for a wide range of OEM and Life Sciences applications.

"With the launch of the FDD Direct Drive, FMI continues to push the boundaries of innovation. This pump allows incredible precision and accuracy with zero mechanical backlash, a first of its kind," said Sean Madden, Vice President, Commercial and Product Development at Fluid Metering Inc. "This means the FDD pump requires no software compensations to reach the desired dispense volume. We believe the FDD Direct Drive will continue to allow engineers to simplify their fluidic architecture, improve instrument reliability and allow for increased instrument throughput."

About Fluid Metering Inc.:

Fluid Metering Inc. pioneered the first patented valve-less rotating and reciprocating piston metering pump concept delivering pumping excellence and precise fluid control for Laboratory, Industrial, Process and OEM applications. Fluid Metering's Engineering Team incorporates over 63 years of OEM design experience to meet specific customer and application requirements with Accuracy, Precision & Reliability!

Fluid Metering’s FVD Variable Dispense Pump Receives Gold in 2021 LEAP Awards

SYOSSET, N.Y. -- Fluid Metering, Inc. is proud to announce that they are the recipients of the gold award in the hydraulics category of WTWH Media's 2021 Leadership in Engineering Achievement Program (LEAP) for its FVD Variable Dispense Pump.

The LEAP awards are supported by WTWH Media, which includes Design World, Fluid Power World, Fastener Engineering and EE World showcasing global mechanical and electronic engineering achievements in a host of technology areas. This year's winners were chosen by an independent, third-party judging panel comprised of twelve OEM design engineers and academic professionals who evaluated hundreds of entries submitted by world-class manufacturers in diverse industries.

In selecting the FVD Variable Dispense Pump for the gold award, the judges commented: "The reduction of components by combining 3 functions within one pump is innovative. Fewer components mean fewer potential leakage points; and system better system reliability."

The FVD Variable Dispense Pump provides a simplified fluidic architecture that combines priming, flushing and a precise dispensing cycle in one pump. This all-in-one pump doubles the life cycle of current technologies by using chemically inert ceramic components that are dimensionally stable and do not deteriorate over 100s of millions of cycles. The ceramic piston eliminates the need for valves and elastomeric components associated with maintenance, provides accuracy and precision which translates into upfront cost savings along with less downtime and improved fluidic control performance.

"It is such an honor to be the recipient of the 2021 Gold Leap Award! To have been selected out of such a competitive field of world-class companies and technologies is very humbling!" said Robert Morin, Vice President, Commercial Operations at Fluid Metering. "The development of Fluid Metering's Variable Dispense pump has been a multiply year journey, with extensive market research. Our Product Development, led by Sean Madden, outdid themselves turning our customers' voice into a game-changing technology while ensuring world-class reliability."

ViewTech Borescopes Exhibiting at FABTECH and MINExpo International 2021

TRAVERSE City, Mich. -- As two of the largest trade shows in the United States return after COVID-19 forced a hiatus, ViewTech Borescopes will be one of the thousands of exhibitors featuring the latest machinery and technology next week during FABTECH and MINExpo International. FABTECH 2021 will be taking place at the McCormick Place in Chicago from September 13-16, while MINExpo International is being held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas from September 13-15. With both events the pillar for their respective industry, ViewTech Borescopes is expecting the return of face-to-face exhibiting to generate many new business connections requiring remote visual inspection equipment.

Returning to exhibit at FABTECH for the sixth time, ViewTech Borescopes will be in the welding pavilion at booth B20066. With the integrity of welds requiring verification, ViewTech's VJ-3 Dual Camera provides technicians visual access through both a forward-facing and 90-degree angle camera. Featuring 360-degree articulation, along with full-color image and video capture capability, inspecting residual deposits or the quality and color of the weld bead is quick and easy process. In addition to the VJ-3 Dual Camera, ViewTech Borescopes will also have on hand the VJ-3 Far Focus, VJ-3 3.9mm, and VJ-3 2.8mm.

For the first time, ViewTech Borescopes is exhibiting at MINExpo International and will be located inside the South Hall at booth 27340. MINExpo International is the world's largest and most comprehensive mining event, drawing over 40,000 attendees. ViewTech is eager to demonstrate several borescopes from their lineup, including how the VJ-3 Far Focus video borescope can assist mining industry professionals with their maintenance and inspection requirements. As the newest ViewTech borescope available for sale, the VJ-3 Far Focus features an illumination output of 60,000lux, which is three times brighter than the standard VJ-3 video borescope and sees clearly beyond the normally short focal distance of standard industrial borescopes.
