ALUTEST-PL
Systems for Automatic Ultrasonic Examination of Non-Ferrous Plates and Ingots
ALUTEST-PL series systems are intended for fully automatic ultrasonic and eddy current examination of plates and slabs made of non-ferrous metals such as: aluminum, titanium, copper, etc.
The generall configuration of ALUTEST-PL systems is similar in concept to the configuration of NORDISCAN-PL scanners. However, unlike the NORDISCAN-PL, the ultrasonic and eddy current probes of ALUTEST-PL are designed to meet the most stringent standards of the aerospace industry such as:
EN2004-2, AMS 2630, prEN4050, ASTM D857, EN2004-2, BAC 5439-3 (Boeing), ASTM B594, ASTM E2375 – 08 (2013), IGC 04.25.116, ABP 6-5232 (Airbus).
The key elements of ALUTEST-PL scanners are the use of blocks of multichannel piezoelectric transducers, phased arrays, allowing you to confidently detect the smallest defects, down to FBH 0.8 mm in slabs of up to 800 mm thickness. The highest positioning accuracy of the acoustic units is ensured using of well-known industrial manipulators.
At our Customers’ requests, the base set of ALUTEST-PL equipment can be expanded with various subsystems to provide automatic measurement of conductivity, high-precision measurement of geometric dimensions, as well as drying and marking, post-inspection.

The ALUTEST-PL series achieves multiple
inspection tasks:
-
Detection of internal imperfections in rolled plates, ingots, and slabs such as: laminations, non-metallic inclusions, porosity, shell, sponge, etc.;
-
Detection of surface and sub-surface defects;
-
Precise wall thickness measurement;
-
Plate Geometry Monitoring.
