NORDISCAN-BB

Systems for Automatic Ultrasonic Examination of Bars, Billets and Rails

NORDISCAN-BB systems are intended for examination of bars, billets, and other more complex profiles. Depending on the testing task, we apply two basic configurations of  NORDISCAN-BB

For examination of bars of small diameters, billets, profiles, and rail we are applying a “pass-through” configuration based on providing a dedicated immersion tank with the probes submerged in it. Efficient seals on the input and output ensure minimal loss of water and continuous inspection capability. Such configuration is nearly invisible to the production line with testing speeds  up to 2 m/s, and with the application of phased-array methods provides  increased flexibility for different test objects and tasks.

ALUTEST-BB

Systems for Automatic Ultrasonic Examination of Non-Ferrous Bars

ALUTEST-BB series systems are designed for automatic ultrasonic testing of bars and billets made of aluminum, titanium, copper, and other Non-Ferrous metals.

Like the NORDISCAN-BB series, ALUTEST-BB systems can be delivered in two different configurations: “Pass Through” and “Gantry”.  Unlike the NORDISCAN-BB, however; the UT probes of ALUTEST-BB are designed to meet the most stringent standards of the aerospace industry
