ASPEX Receives R&D 100 Award for Jet Engine Mobile Monitor

ASPEX Corp. has been selected to receive the prestigious R&D 100 Award. The JEMM Xtreme was chosen by the independent judging panel and editors of R&D Magazine as one of the 100 most technologically-significant products of 2008.

The JEMM Xtreme is a rugged, deployable, automated scanning electron microscope used to establish the suitability of an aircraft for safe operation. The system characterizes metallic wear debris extracted from the lubrication oil stream of military jet engines and represents a tremendous improvement in functionality from the SEM/EDX systems currently being utilized for jet engine predictive and preventative maintenance. The innovative design, which incorporates JEMM Wizard software, automated alignment and calibration processes, as well as the first integrated Advanced SEM Anti-Shock Base, makes the JEMM Xtreme smaller, lighter, easier to operate and extremely deployable – a combination of laboratory precision and battlefield toughness unlike any other product in the field.

"We at ASPEX are very proud to receive this prestigious honor and believe this recognition exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative solutions to our customers," says Greg Ott, president of ASPEX.

In addition to military operations, the JEMM Xtreme can be employed wherever SEM/EDX microanalysis capabilities are required in a rugged, mobile form, including manufacturing, mining, pollution control, forensics, heavy equipment maintenance, agriculture, geology and archeology. aspexcorp.com
