Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) encompasses a range of methods for assessing the integrity and quality of materials, components, or structures without causing damage. It enables the early detection of defects such as cracks, voids, or inclusions, ensuring the safety and durability of products.

The primary goal of NDT is to identify defects before they escalate into major issues, making it an essential tool in quality assurance. Key advantages include reducing downtime, avoiding product damage, and enhancing safety standards.

One of our specialized technologies in the NDT field is 3D imaging. Using our 3D sensors, detailed three-dimensional representations of the inspected surfaces can be created. This is particularly valuable for surface inspection, as even the smallest deviations and damages like cracks and irregularities can be identified with precision. The 3D data enables accurate localization of defects and assessment of their extent, ensuring precise quality and safety evaluations.

Additionally, we utilize IR thermal imaging to detect temperature variations on the surface of components. This method is particularly useful for uncovering hidden defects, such as internal stresses or uneven heat distributions in materials, making it possible to identify potential overheating in industrial equipment early on.

Our 3D sensors have a wide range of applications, including metrology, robot guidance, and surface inspection. These applications are crucial for conducting precise NDT analyses, as they provide accurate data regarding the position, shape, and structure of the objects being inspected.

NDT is employed across various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, and construction, ensuring the structural integrity of aircraft, pipelines, bridges, and more.

In summary, NDT, combined with modern 3D imaging and IR thermal imaging technologies, is an indispensable tool for ensuring quality and safety in the industry. Our 3D sensors offer a solution that provides maximum precision and efficiency.
