PROTO MANUFACTURING LTD. established in 1967 provides automated
nondestructive residual stress analysis and applied stress
analysis systems, equipment and services. Our Mission Statement: Our team is dedicated to customer satisfaction, by supplying the
best technology and knowledge with quality, service and value in
our poducts and services. Our Research Partners have included: Boeing, NRC, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, General Motors, AECL
(Atomic Energy Canada Ltd.), Ontario Hydro Technologies, DREA
(Defence Research Establishment Atlantic), and others.
Proto designs and manufactures residual stress and applied
stress analysis systems that can be used in the field and under
extreme environmental conditions. Based on x-ray diffraction ,
the systems measure residual stress nondestructively and
quantiatively - allowing Residual Stress Tracking© on products
before and after various manufacturing processes as well as over
the life of the product. Proto also provides comprehensive
laboratory services, and can travel to make stress analysis and
retained austenite measurements on location with their portable
equipment.
Residual stress plays an important role in fatigue life,
distortion, available component load limits, crack propagation,
stress corrosion cracking, and crack initiation. It is therefore
not surprising that characterizing and managing residual stress
can offer the following benefits: - reduce maintenance costs -
reduce material costs - improve product quality - optimize
product life - shorten your design cycle - get your product to
market faster - reduce liability costs - reduce testing costs -
improve your bottom line

Technology:
Proto Manufacturing Limited manufactures Residual Stress Analysis Systems and provides residual stress analysis services in the laboratory or in the field. Through constant and aggressive research and development Proto€™s products are at the forefront of residual stress analysis systems and services worldwide. Proto has pioneered field residual stress measurements on aircraft, structures and pipelines including work on historic structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the World Trade Center after the first attempt. Proto has brought dramatic improvements to x-ray diffraction, achieving over five patents with more on the way, by freeing the technology from the confines of the laboratory and removing the limitation of characterizing small coupons only. Proto innovations have included; the successful development of an 18 kg portable system, very small goniometers, automated residual stress mapping, €œMulti-Maps€?, simultaneous residual stress and retained austenite measurement, high-speed x-ray diffraction and has pioneered field and inline applications for defense, aerospace, civil engineering, utility and automotive sectors. Proto also designs and manufactures it's own x-ray tubes and detectors and currently produces the world's smallest fine focus and microfocus x-ray tubes.
