From Houston, Texas during the ASNT 2023 annual conference, Richard Blaser from Inspenet had the pleasure of interviewing Jimmy Ellis, the innovator behind Jimmy Ellis String Encoders, the new generation of repairable string cutters.
Jimmy, who has extensive experience in ultrasonic testing, expressed frustration with the quality and durability of commercially available string cutters. This need led him to design his own cutter, with a primary focus on repairability. His cutters have replaceable parts and are easy to disassemble, making them unique in the market.
While Jimmy has created a video tutorial for those who want to learn how to repair his cutters, he generally offers the repair service himself. Surprisingly, these cutters are not patented, which adds an even more interesting touch to his creation.
Although Jimmy’s repairable string cutters have only been on the market for about four years, his presence at conference shows his desire to continue to introduce and improve his product. For Jimmy, ASNT is not only a platform to showcase his innovative cutter, but also an essential venue for any professional interested in non-destructive testing.
