UPA Technology will again be exhibiting at the National Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) Conference and Exposition in Nashville, TN, May 5-8, 2025. UPA will be staffing the Infralytic booth along with Daben LLC.

Infralytic is considered the most innovative developer and manufacturer in lubricant thickness measurement technology, with more than 30 years of “know-how” in the measurement of oil film, water, paints and other fluids on steel and aluminum.

DaBen LLC specializes in the automation and integration of the Infralytic non-contact measurement technology. With over 35 years of automation and technical experience DaBen can integrate into nearly any system.

The NG2 is a portable oil sensor that uses infrared technology to provide accurate, repeatable lubricant thickness measurements instantaneously.

The UV-Mini incorporates the Oil Sensor NG3 to measure lubricant films in complex, highly-formed parts and pressed 3-D stampings. The UV-Mini uses ultraviolet technology for lubricant measurement while the Oil Sensor NG3 wirelessly provides calibrations for the instrument.

UPA Technology is the North America distributor for the Infralytic NG2 and NG3 hand held measurement devices specializing in sales, repairs and calibration.  For more information, use the Contact form!

Are you considering the purchase of an instrument from UPA Technology but would like to “see it in action” before purchasing? If so, we are happy to arrange an online demo for you and your staff so that you can see an instrument operating and to ask any questions you may have before you make a purchase.

UPA offers these demonstration sessions at no charge via Webex. Contact us today to schedule your demo session.

From all of us at UPA Technology, we hope you have a great holiday!  Our office will be closed for the holiday season after Monday December 23 and reopening Thursday January 2.  If you have any questions or service needs, be sure to contact us before then.  See you in 2025!

The Microderm CMS Version 3 beta backscatter instrument is now available. The new version of the well-established UPA Technology hand-held beta backscatter instrument offers improved battery life, faster system boot-up, and built-in charging with a smaller, more ergonomic case. Data can now be downloaded via Bluetooth or USB.

UPA Technology recently exhibited at the AIST (Association for Iron and Steel Technology) Conference in Columbus, Ohio. UPA jointly exhibited with Infralytic and DaBen LLC to provide information on the Infralytic hand held (NG2 and NG3) and inline (NG03) oil sensors. These oil sensors enable more precise lubricant thickness measurements than any other technology or instrument.

The NG2 Oil Sensor infrared technology was developed by Infralytic and has become the worldwide industry standard, having more than 90% market share in the USA and Canada. The portable Oil Sensor NG2 provides accurate, repeatable lubricant thickness measurements in less than a second.

Used in conjunction with an Oil Sensor NG3, the UV-Mini is an innovative device that measures lubricant films in complex, highly formed parts and pressed 3-D stampings.  The UV-Mini incorporates Ultra-Violet technology for lubricant measurement while the Oil Sensor NG3 wirelessly provides the calibrations for the instrument.

The NG03 uses the Infralytic technology to measure inline for continuous measurement. The inline installations are custom designed to be integrated into the manufacturing process.

For more information, contact us through the website or 513-755-1280.

Are you having problems with using your Micro Pioneer XRF?  Having trouble remembering how to do some of the tasks you don’t do very often (new calibrations, recalibration)?  Maybe employee turnover has left you struggling?

UPA Technology offers training and demonstrations by Webex remotely!  For an hourly rate, we can schedule training over the internet using our own XRF unit, either as a simple demonstration here, or set up your XRF unit as well for you to try after we show you how!

If you need some refresher training, contact us today to schedule your Webex demonstration.

From the employees at UPA Technology, we hope you have a great holiday!  We also want to let you know that our office will be closed for the holiday season after Friday December 22 and reopening Tuesday January 2.  If you have any questions or service needs, be sure to contact us before then!  We look forward to seeing you in 2024.
