COMPACT OPTICAL
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The ZEISS ARAMIS 1 is a compact optical
measurement system designed for 3D
analysis of strain, displacement, and
deformation during quasi-static mechan-
ical tests such as tensile, compact tension,
and three- and four-point bending tests.
Using stereoscopic digital cameras
and advanced image processing, the
ARAMIS 1 captures noncontact measure-
ments without the need for wired or
mounted sensors. It delivers high-resolution
results across a wide measurement
range—from as low as 0.005% to 2000%
technical strain—making it ideal for both
small deformations and extreme material
testing. Certified to VDI standards, the
system ensures reliable performance
through rigorous quality control.
When paired with ZEISS CORRELATE
software, ARAMIS 1 enables digital
image correlation and point-tracking for
detailed 3D motion and deformation
analysis. Users can expand functionality
further with the professional analysis
license, unlocking automation features,
templates, and customizable apps to
streamline workflows.

ULTRAHIGH-
RESOLUTION OCT
SPECTROMETER
The Cobra-D is a compact, ultrahigh-
dispersion spectrometer that significantly
extends the imaging depth achievable
at 800 nm for spectral domain optical
coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Traditionally, deeper imaging required
longer wavelengths and costly InGaAs
detectors. The Cobra-D overcomes
this limitation with a proprietary optical
design that enables imaging depths of
more than 14 mm using 800 nm light—
supporting cost-effective, high-resolution
imaging that is particularly relevant for
nondestructive process monitoring of
additive printing and laser machining.
Offered in five bandwidths centered at
840 nm, the Cobra-D provides spectral
resolutions from 0.01 to 0.04 nm, corre-
sponding to a 4–14 mm depth range.
It delivers fast readout speeds up to
250 kHz and integrates easily via software
development kits for C++, C#, LabVIEW,
and MATLAB. The design emphasizes
high sensitivity, low roll-off, and long-term
mechanical and thermal stability. Built on
a configurable optomechanical bench
and leveraging patented VPH grating
technology, the Cobra-D is optimized for
volume manufacturing in industrial and
medical OEM systems.

BENDABLE DIGITAL
RADIOGRAPHY
DETECTOR
A new bendable digital radiography (DR)
detector, the INDUSTREX HPX-ARC 1025 PH,
is available for NDT applications that
require imaging around curved or irreg-
ular surfaces. With the ability to flex
from flat to fit around objects as small
as 2 in. (5 cm) in diameter, the 4 10 in.
(10 25 cm) detector has a lightweight
design, and its curved adaptability
make it well suited for weld inspection
and other common field applications
where conventional rigid detectors may
fall short. The system provides near-
edge imaging, instant access to images
for on-the-spot evaluation, and digital
enhancements that support lower dose
exposures and faster throughput.
The detector is compatible with
existing INDUSTREX digital viewing
software, allowing faster integration into
current workflows and enabling users
to standardize on an all-in-one software
platform for both computed radiography
(CR) and DR inspection.

CUSTOMIZABLE
INCHWORM ROBOTS
HEBI Robotics has received a 2025
RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for
its inchworm robot family, which offers a
novel approach to mobile manipulation in
complex environments. These robots are
built from modular actuators arranged in
a snakelike form, allowing them to move
end-over-end using suction, magnetic,
or other types of gripping feet. This
design enables the robots to navigate
and operate in spaces that are typically
hazardous or difficult to access.
The inchworm robots can be custom-
ized for specific tasks using HEBI’s devel-
opment platform, which supports quick
adaptation of control code and hardware
across different actuator sizes. Tools
and sensors can be integrated either at
the ends or within the feet, making the
system flexible for inspection, mainte-
nance, or other tasks. The technology has
potential applications across industries,
including space exploration, where HEBI
has partnered with NASA to explore
new robotic capabilities in confined and
extreme environments.
