Equipment Financing helps ease Capital Expense, shortens Return on Investment for Machine Vision Customers

Epsilon Technologies International, LLC doing business as MoviMED & MoviTHERM is partnering with SCL Equipment Finance to offer attractive equipment financing.

IRVINE, CA, USA, November 28, 2018 — The need to innovate and automate using machine vision technology is often hindered by lengthy capital expense budget approval processes. Consumer products get shipped un-inspected and processes go un-monitored for months on end while waiting for internal budget approvals. Continual process improvements are being put on hold, while awaiting completion of the lengthy financial approval process. Smaller companies may face additional challenges by not being able to afford a highly sought-after machine vision solution at all.

We are excited to help our customers realize their automation goals faster. Our new equipment finance programs help accelerate their return on investment, while preserving their working capital!
Markus Tarin, President & CEO, MoviMED / MoviTHERM

Flexible equipment financing options can be a valuable tool in overcoming these challenges of today’s manufacturers. For example, a lease-to-own program will allow a company to acquire capital equipment in a short period of time and put it to work, while making affordable monthly payments. More often than not, the monthly return on investment of the machine vision equipment exceeds the cost of the lease payment, thus leading to an instant positive cash flow.

Additionally, customers can take advantage of the recently changed tax laws to fully write off the purchase price of the equipment in the first year, while stretching the payments over two, three or more years.

As interest rates are rising, more companies are electing to take advantage of equipment financing to stay competitive and keep innovating, while preserving their working capital.

MoviTHERM Expands NDT Sales

Irvine, CA – October 18th, 2017

MoviTHERM Advanced Thermography Solutions is pleased to announce the expansion of its extended sales force in both the US, and now into Canada. Wednesday’s move comes in response to the increasing demand for Infrared Non-Destructive Testing Solutions across several industry sectors.

This expansion builds on a previous partnership formed between Composite Automation, LLC and MoviTHERM. Both companies have found a synergistic match based on their respective background and solution offerings.

“John Melilli and Composite Automation LLC have built a winning NDT sales team. Each team member has individually distinguished himself in the Composite Manufacturing Industry. As a unit, they offer unrivaled expertise in a wide range of applications. We are very excited to have this dynamic sales force representing the MoviTHERM thermal inspection and non-destructive testing products, as they expand across the US, and now in Canada too!”, said Markus Tarin, President & CEO of MoviTHERM

MoviTHERM offers a range of NDT inspection solutions for structural components manufactured using carbon fiber and other composite materials. As the number and diversity of these components grows, the need for more sophisticated inspection technology is also growing. Traditional Ultrasound NDT technology is not well-suited to complex, curved geometries that are becoming more prevalent in composite parts manufacturing. Infrared Non-Destructive Test Systems (“IR-NDT”) offers several advantages over ultrasound equipment. IR-NDT based system can quickly inspect large, curved geometries and offers a cost-effective, efficient alternative to traditional ultrasonic solutions.

A lineup of MoviTHERM’s IR-NDT solutions can be found on their website.
