The new company, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vibrantndt.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Vibrant NDT Ltd<\/a>, will initially be based at Sheffield University Advanced\u00a0Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). \u201cThe opportunity to partner with a proven business in the UK, and to\u00a0be located in the prestigious Factory of the Future at the AMRC, is a dream come true for Vibrant.\u201d said Vibrant\u00a0Corporation President Lem Hunter. \u201cVibrant has been working with customers in the UK for nearly 2 years. The\u00a0new company will allow us to be much more responsive to the needs of those customers and to rapidly expand\u00a0our service offerings.\u201d continued Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Johnson, Director of Johnson and Allen, will also serve as the Director of Vibrant NDT Ltd. \u201cThis\u00a0technology will change the face of NDT, and we are proud to be involved.\u201d said Johnson. PCRT is a resonance\u00a0based technology that measures and compares minute vibrations introduced into parts. Pattern recognition\u00a0technology is then applied to the resulting \u201cresonance spectra\u201d of parts to determine if the part tested is similar\u00a0to known acceptable parts and free of the spectral variations associated with defects. \u201cPCRT is very\u00a0environmentally friendly, fast, and extremely accurate in identifying defect parts. PCRT has reduced total testing\u00a0cost and increased production yield in every application I have seen. It is exactly the kind of new technology we\u00a0have been looking for at Johnson and Allen.\u201d Johnson commented.<\/p>\n<p>Vibrant made the announcement on the opening day of the International Manufacturing Technology show in\u00a0Chicago. Vibrant is participating in the Advanced Manufacturing Center sponsored by Gardner Publications and\u00a0anchored by The Boeing Company. Vibrant is being featured as a disruptive new manufacturing technology in\u00a0the AMC display, along with nine other companies.<\/p>\n<h4>About Vibrant Corporation<\/h4>\n<p>Vibrant is a spinoff of Mechtronic Solutions, Inc. and has commercialized Process Compensated Resonance\u00a0Testing (PCRT) for use in the aerospace and power generation industries. PCRT technology is a revolutionary,\u00a0resonance based, non-destructive testing technology that can determine if a component is structurally sound\u00a0and free of defects and damage. Vibrant has developed PCRT applications focused on the safety critical\u00a0components found in the aerospace industry. These applications bring the power of PCRT to bear on new\u00a0product quality control and in-service product degradation tracking. Headquartered in Albuquerque, NM, Vibrant\u00a0is now performing testing services for several major North American aerospace manufacturers and\u00a0Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) firms.<\/p>\n<h4>About Johnson and Allen<\/h4>\n<p>Founded in 1938, Johnson and Allen have been providing non-destructive testing equipment and services to UK\u00a0businesses and worldwide customers for four generations. With a historic focus on dye penetrant and magnetic\u00a0particle NDT systems, Johnson and Allen has grown a line of proprietary products and a strong reputation for\u00a0high quality custom systems. Johnson and Allen serves the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East from\u00a0its head office in Sheffield, with field offices and distributorships in Scotland and 4 other countries. Current\u00a0markets served include aerospace, military, power generation, automotive, construction, rail, petro chemical,\u00a0offshore, and leisure industries. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnsonandallen.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.johnsonandallen.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vibrant Corporation and Johnson and Allen Ltd. announced that the companies have formed a joint venture to provide Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) services and equipment to the United Kingdom.
