Universal All-In-One LPI System
If you only need to test a few large parts at a time, it may make more sense to consider the
Universal All-In-One LPI System.
System Overview

| Penetrant Application | Wash and Inspection |
| The All-In-One Penetrant System incorporates penetrant application, dwell, wash, air-blow-off, drying, developer application and inspection in one stand alone station. It is meant to fit the needs of Customers with large parts but small production requirements, or small parts with small production requirements. |  |
The All-In-One System consists of the following:

Optional Items:

Sequence of Operation:
1) Penetrant Application/Dwell:
Can be performed by spray, brush or dipped into an optional small parts Dip Tank, depending on the part size and/or inspection requirements. After application, an optional Timer can aide in the controlled dwell of the penetrant on the surface of the parts.
2) Wash Process:
A specification required Tri-Con Wash Gun plumbed in-line with a pressure regulator, pressure gauge and temperature gauge, allows for the monitoring of the wash water parameters. The wash process is illuminated with sufficient fluorescent blacklight tubes to reach the required illuminance of 50 µW/cm2 of UV-A at the parts surface during washing. The Air-Blow Off Gun plumbed in-line with a pressure regulator and pressure gauge, allows for excess water to be blown off the parts prior to the parts drying, to lessen the drying time.
3) Parts Drying:
When you close the curtains and switch on the fan, the forced air heater(s) come on, starting the drying sequence. The heat is evenly distributed throughout the enclosed space facilitating drying in even high humidity locations.
4) Developer Application:
After the parts have thoroughly dried, Dry developer can be applied with a powder bulb or other applicator.
Nonaqueous Developer can be sprayed on by an aerosol can or spray gun. Wet Developer can be brushed on or dipped into an optional small parts Dip Tank. After application an optional Timer can aide in the controlled dwell of the developer on the surface of the parts.
5) Inspection:
A high-intensity UV lamp is provided to inspect the part(s) after developer dwell. The blacklight lamp is held on an adjustable arm with a bracket and rod to allow for hands free inspection under the UV lamp. The curtains surrounding the operator section keep ambient visible light from outside the inspection station below 2 foot-candles. A white light flood bulb is mounted on the ceiling of the Inspection Station for part marking and other required inspection tasks.
