X-ray acquisition announced

A Shaw Inspection Systems product story

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 6, 2007

Shaw Inspection Systems offers a complete range of x-ray equipment, including both the hardware and specialised software for a broad range of inspection applications.

ShawCor has acquired X-Tek Industrial from X-Tek Systems Limited in the United Kingdom.

The company has been renamed Shaw Inspection Systems.

Shaw Inspection Systems offers a complete range of x-ray equipment designed to meet specific customer requirements including both the hardware and specialised software for a broad range of inspection applications.

The company offers a broad range of x-ray equipment specifically designed to eliminate the need to use x-ray film while speeding up inspection process technologies.

Based in Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom, the company has dedicated research and development capabilities.

Its systems and services address extensive and diverse requirements in a wide range of industries including aerospace, military, nuclear and pipeline as well as materials, power, security, pharmaceuticals and medical.

The company produces the FFRESHeX digital continuous x-ray weld inspection system, which provides particular benefits for inspecting pipe welds on clad pipe at the high inspection rates required when laying offshore pipelines.

Commenting on the acquisition, Les Hutchison, VP of Shaw Pipeline Services, ShawCor , said, "Shaw Inspection Systems brings unparalleled expertise in real-time x-ray inspection systems, which complements ShawCor's pipeline and pipe services products and services as a whole".

"As part of the ShawCor, Shaw Inspection Systems will be uniquely well placed to expand the global market for its products and services".

Steve Drake, General Manager of Shaw Inspection Systems added, "With the backing of a major global organisation with the resources of ShawCor, Shaw Inspection Systems can further invest in the development of its world-leading real-time x-ray inspection systems".
