Even though I had to close Innovative Test Systems about 5 years ago, I've decided to use this page as kind of a history of the company.
Here are some pictures when I was still in Baton Rouge. This job was for Tex-Tube Company in Houston TX. It was an In-line Weld Seam Inspection Unit with a paint Sprayer to mark the defects.

Here was a concept for inspection of automotive airbag canisters. System had to be able to 100% ultrasonically inspect one canister every 15 seconds. Came up with this revolver-style system. System used a combination of phased array, paintbrush, and conventional probes. Unfortunately we lost the contract so guess I can show part of it. Not showing how we held the parts or unloaded them just in case we get another shot at one like this.

Haven't done anything on this page in over a year. ITS is still around. Have been doing a few things. Here is a project to replace the scanning head on an existing system that scans solid aluminum logs in the 11" to 15" diameter range.

The Current Projects section on my webpage has been catching all the updates and is getting large. I need to seperate the projects out into their own sections. Look for an update to the webpage shortly.
