QCS Industries has made many systems over the years. Some of these included making the complete system, where we designed to specifications the hardware, software, and mechanics. On other projects we just made the Hardware and Software end of the system, that is we gave it life. We are proud to be able to say that none of these systems ever needed repair, warrantee or otherwise. We systematically built in quality, durability, and reliability. We tend to overdesign instead of being just on. That does not mean that we don't do value engineering, because we do. The following are just some of the projects that we have worked on over the last 20 years. Environmental Chamber for exposing electro-optic and semiconductor parts to High Dose Gamma Irradiation for McClellan AFB under contract to Computing Devices International. The characteristics of the system are: Temperature: -150° to +150°C Vacuum: 760 to 1.0E-06 torr Humidity: 5 to 90%RH at 20° to 85°C Temperature Ramp: 10°C/hr to 120°C/hr Manual feed M509 Base Plug Eddy current crack detection system for SAAP. This system tested base plugs by spinning the part, while scanning it on the top and bottom sides, along with the thread undercut area. It has the following characteristics: 200 parts/hr Continuous operation 3 shift/day Radial cracks 0.005" width, 0.250" long Circumferential cracks 0.005" width, 0.250" long Circumferential crack in the thread undercut 0.005" width, 0.250" long Modified the M509 Base Plug system to accept M825 base plugs for SAAP. This system is similar to the M509 system except the height of the M825 was greater, and the part weighed more. It has the following characteristics 200 parts/hr Continuous operation 3 shift/day Radial cracks 0.005" width, 0.250" long Circumferential cracks 0.005" width, 0.250" long Circumferential crack in the thread undercut 0.005" width, 0.250" long Automatic feed M509 Base Plug eddy current crack detection system for LAAP Same characteristics as standard M509 Base plug system Also removed parts from conveyor at 200/hr Also replaced parts onto the conveyor at 200/hr less the rejects Electronic control system for a stub tube to tube sheet ultrasonic thickness gauging system for General Atomics under contract to QMI®. This system rotated the probe with the ultrasonic transducer in it so that the wall thickness could be measured. The system rotated the probe and unwound the probe and cables as it removed itself from within the tube. It has the following characteristics: Thickness gauging to within 0.001" Inside or outside determination of reduction in thickness Printout of thickness value Electronic control system for the M409 shell ultrasonic crack detection system for SAAP under contract to Rompas NDE. This system had multiple channels for simultaneously scanning at different places along a shell to improve the speed. It has the following characteristics: Six UT channels Six distance amplitude gain gates Stepper motor driven 60 shells per hour Intrinsically safe reject shoot so at a component failure all parts went into reject shoot Operated for at least 2 years without needing repair Titanium tube testing control and display system for Rolmet under contract to Grandia Labs Microcontroller based system with display interface Inspected up to 1 meter diameter pipes and tubes submerged UT Rotational speed 0 to 120 RPM Scan speed 20"/sec OMEs chamber nickel plating thickness testing system using ultrasonics for Aerojet General Measured bonding of nickel plating on the Shuttle's OMEs chambers Subsurface resolution of 0.030" Thickness accuracy of 0.001" Computer generated cam follower designed to hold transducer at 90° to the surface at all times and at a 1.00" distance. Chart recorder of thickness along the length of the part. Automatic scanning position gain correction system for ultrasonic inspection of M409 shells for Norris Industries Corrected gain versus position along the length of the shell Independent adjustments for each position along the length 0 to 20 dB gain adjustment possible to compensate for ogive versus boule thickness and angle. Custom strip chart recording system for ultrasonic inspection of M409 shells for SAAP Recorded where on the shell an indication that exceeded the maximum allowable has occurred 10 channels to accommodate the ten transducers the ultrasonic system has Electronic control systems for a 10,000 Amp wet horizontal magnetic particle inspection system for QMI® Controlled the 10,000 Amp Head/Tail stock current Controlled the 8,000 Amp AC/DC coil stock current 10% duty cycle to maintain the operating temperature within limits Controlled 3 phase full wave rectified current using SCRs Ultrasonic distance amplitude gate control module for the Automation Industries' Reflectoscope under contract to QMI® Module for Automation Industries M90 Reflectoscope Maintained constant gain as slope was changed Far slope and near slope adjustment Eddy current module for a Tektronix mainframe used in the M509 base plug systems Custom Eddy current instrument on a pcb Unbalanced tuned coil front end AC or filtered DC display options Balance and Liftoff, Alarm level and Gain controls Housed in a single wide Tektronix 500 series module Eddy current multiplexer module for a Tektronix mainframe used in the M509 base plug system Custom multiplexer module housed in a single wide Tektronix 500 series module Switched between any of the three Eddy current instrument modules
