Parts that appear to meet specifications may conceal voids that can negatively affect structural integrity, appearance, or functionality. In the food industry, voids can trap biological material leading to contamination. In structural parts, these pores can concentrate stress and become points of early failure, and in ultrasonic welding, they indicate poor or failing welds. Porosity Analysis enables Voyager users to identify small, localized depressions or cavities within a part before it is shipped to a customer.
Injection-molded plastic parts can develop voids in threading, valves, or snap features, compromising their load-bearing capacity. These voids often result from inadequately dehydrated and pressurized molding resin. Porosity Analysis effectively pinpoints, visualizes, and quantifies these voids, enabling engineers to identify when process parameters need adjustment.
