Envision's History

Founded in 1993 by John and Sandi Pursley, Envision Product Design has created industry-leading innovations in gamma and X-ray imaging systems along with intelligent robotic crawlers and manipulators. In the oil industry in Alaska, hundreds of miles of pipeline have been inspected using our robotic imaging systems, operating year-around in one of the most difficult environments on earth. The use of Envision’s corrosion inspection equipment has resulted in savings of millions of dollars to the petroleum industry, and significant protection for Alaska’s arctic environment.

In January 2000, Envision announced the first in a series of x-ray imaging products based on CMOS (complementary metal oxide silicon) sensors. The underlying technology for these products was developed and patented by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in 1995.

Today, Envision's product line ranges from a breakthru hand-held X-ray video system, to a sophisticated high-energy large format system for rocket inspection. Envision's CMOS X-ray equipment is used to search for bombs; inspect wings and fuel tanks on space shuttles, missiles and other defense ordinance, commercial aircraft parts, medical products, electronic components, composite structures, agricultural product, automotive castings, tires, railroad tankers, pipelines, turbine blades, and numerous other applications where manufactures and researchers are taking advantage of the cost savings of implementing CMOS imaging technologies.

Since inception, Envision has continuously progressed as a leader in the development of digital X-ray systems and has been credited for exceptional commitment and rapid response to customers' needs.
