Real-time synchrotron radiography measurements of the inside of a watch in collaboration with the the Watch division of the company MPS Micro Precision Systems AG

Last week we performed measurements at the TOMCAT beamline of the PSI together with Arnaud Houriet and Francois Guelat, from the Watch division of the company MPS Micro Precision Systems AG. Using in-operando radiography at the Synchrotron, the function of a watch gear component was investigated in real time. In collaboration with MPS, a tailor-made test rig was developed for the investigation, which allows the gear component to be scanned and investigated in real time. The results of the measurements support MPS in improving their products even further.
