Identifying leaks gets the video conferencing treatment

A Texas-based company has set up what it calls a ‘no-cost’ video conferencing tool to help manufacturers identify leaks in moulded or sealed plastic parts.


Uson, based in Houston, first developed leak testing methods for NASA and has gone on to pioneer the development of automated leak detection equipment for the automotive, industrial, medical device and packaging industries.


The company says its video conferencing system is designed for companies that either “do not want the delay in time-to-market that shipping parts to outside facilities involves or in cases where release of a proprietary plastic product design is against company policy and non-disclosure requirements”.


Joe Pustka, of Uson’s technical support team, said the video consultations “not only allow us to have the feel of face-to-face meetings and eyeball-to-eyeball discussions, but also speed up design of best-match leak detection systems.


“Anyone is welcome to come to our leak test applications laboratories for in-person consultations at any time. However, most are too busy to hop on planes and take time away from their many other duties.


“Now, we can have one video call or as many as required to ensure everyone is talking about the same part, the same leak detector, the same fixture designs, and so on,” he added.
