Accurex Measurement Unveils All New LYNX2

Swarthmore, PA, June 01, 2024 — Accurex Measurement, a leading precision measurement and inspection solutions provider, proudly announces the launch of the LYNX2 visual inspection system. LYNX2, named after its advanced capabilities and feline-like precision, is designed to transform the landscape of automated machine vision inspection to manufacture aerostructures and other large assemblies.

LYNX2 is a state-of-the-art solution that combines advanced technologies to provide unparalleled reliability and efficiency in machine vision inspection. Machine vision inspection is a technology that uses cameras and image processing to perform automated inspection and analysis for applications such as process control, automatic inspection, and robot guidance. LYNX2 is equipped with an integrated camera, digital projector, and computer vision algorithms, enabling it to meticulously inspect large assemblies for proper assembly with speed and confidence. With LYNX2, manufacturers can eliminate quality escapes from manufacturing assembly errors.

Critical features of LYNX2 include:
Integrated sensor: The system is equipped with a high-resolution camera with optical zoom and an integrated digital projector to capture detailed images independent of ambient lighting, allowing for the detection of even minor errors or anomalies in the manufacturing process.

Articulating Field of Vision: LYNX2 features built-in sensor articulation to provide more than an entire hemisphere of automated inspection volume. Unlike traditional machine vision systems that require numerous cameras or expensive motion control, such as industrial robots, a single LYNX2 sensor can inspect thousands of components on products up to 10m long.

Real-time Analysis: LYNX2 provides real-time analysis of inspection data, enabling manufacturers to make immediate decisions and corrections to eliminate quality issues due to assembly errors while improving overall production efficiency.

Augmented Reality for Guided Assembly: Every LYNX2 system includes Augmented Reality (AR) capability. AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. The AR capabilities of LYNX2 enable operator guidance for assembly operations and visual feedback of inspection results, such as projecting an image of a missing part from the initial assembly.

LYNX2 is designed with the operator in mind. Its unified sensor and lighting, along with its intuitive user interface, make it a breeze for operators to set up, monitor, and manage the inspection process. The automatic inspection reports further enhance the user experience and traceability, empowering operators to efficiently use the system.

“We are excited to introduce LYNX2 to the market, bringing a new level of reliability and efficiency to automated visual inspection processes,” said Paul Joss, Director of Sales & Marketing at Accurex Measurement. “There has been increased scrutiny recently on quality assurance processes for manufacturers, particularly in aircraft manufacturing. With built-in Augmented Reality, LYNX2 offers two layers of quality assurance by guiding the assembly operation and inspecting to ensure that each step was performed correctly.” He continued, “This innovative LYNX2 solution reflects our dedication to empowering manufacturers with cutting-edge technologies to eliminate quality escapes and efficiently ensure the highest quality standards while optimizing their production processes.”

National Drug & Alcohol Screening Association Urges Protection of Transportation Safety Amid Marijuana Rescheduling Debate

National Drug & Alcohol Screening Association Urges Protection of Transportation Safety Amid Marijuana Rescheduling Debate

Washington, DC, June 01, 2024 — The National Drug & Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) expresses grave concerns over the potential rescheduling of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and its implications for safety-sensitive transportation industries. NDASA asserts that without a “Safety Carve-Out,” rescheduling marijuana could disrupt mandatory drug testing protocols for employees in critical public safety roles like airline pilots, air traffic controllers, school bus drivers, and truck drivers, posing significant risks to transportation safety nationwide.

“If marijuana is rescheduled without a Safety Carve-Out, safety-sensitive transportation employees, including airline pilots, air traffic controllers, school bus drivers, and truck drivers, may not undergo marijuana testing,” warns James A. Greer, Chairman of NDASA. “This poses a significant risk to the safety of our roads, skies, and rails.”

Federally regulated drug testing, including for marijuana, has long been integral to maintaining safety standards within the transportation sector. Over three decades, these protocols have effectively mitigated marijuana-related accidents in commercial transportation. However, a potential rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would disrupt Department of Transportation (DOT) testing protocols.

Philip J. Dubois, Government Affairs Committee Chairman, underscores the regulatory challenges: “Placing marijuana on Schedule III removes DOT’s ability to test for marijuana, undermining DOT testing protocols and jeopardizing safety-sensitive operations.” Moreover, NDASA emphasizes the importance of international treaties, such as the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which imposes constraints on marijuana use beyond medicinal and scientific contexts.

Brian Drew, Governmental Affairs Committee Co-Chairman, urges legislative action: “Comprehensive legislation with a Safety Carve-Out is essential to preserve drug-free workplaces across all transportation sectors and uphold over three decades of stringent drug testing protocols.”

M. Jo McGuire, Executive Director of NDASA, emphasizes the urgency of the matter: “The consequences of disregarding safety measures in drug testing could be profound, impacting both federal workplaces and transportation safety.”

NDASA calls upon policymakers to prioritize public safety by supporting legislation that includes a Safety Carve-Out, ensuring the continuity of effective drug testing protocols.
