Successful Participation of SONOTEC at WCNDT 2024

""

SONOTEC GmbH looks back on a highly successful participation at the World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (WCNDT 2024) in Incheon, South Korea. As a leading provider of innovative ultrasonic solutions for non-destructive testing (NDT), SONOTEC presented its diverse developments and products, which were very well received by the numerous international experts. In addition to exhibiting on the trade fair floor, SONOTEC’s experts impressed with two presentations and a poster presentation.

Focus on Innovation and Expertise

At WCNDT 2024, SONOTEC showcased its advanced ultrasonic solutions for various applications in NDT. Visitors to the trade fair had the opportunity to learn about SONOTEC’s latest devices and technologies, which significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of non-destructive testing.

Two Presentations by SONOTEC Experts

As part of the conference, SONOTEC experts delivered two high-profile presentations that captivated the professional audience:

  1. New Possibilities in Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Testing with Phased-Array Technology
    For optimal results in air-coupled ultrasonic testing, a compromise between material attenuation and resolution is necessary. Phased-array technology improves sound fields through phase shift analysis and demonstrates clear advantages over conventional methods.
  1. Robust Ultrasonic Transducers for Pipeline Inspection
    Inspecting pipelines is crucial to detect damages such as corrosion and cracks and to prevent accidents. Ultrasonic testing allows for precise assessment and requires robust transducers that can withstand extreme conditions. The development involves careful material selection and rigorous testing, with the stability of the transducers being critical.

Poster Presentation: New Approaches in Material Testing

In addition to the presentations, SONOTEC showcased a scientific poster focusing on new approaches in material testing. The poster presentation attracted great interest and facilitated intensive exchange with other professionals and scientists.

An Inspiring Experience

Participation in WCNDT 2024 was not only an opportunity for SONOTEC to present the latest technologies but also an inspiring experience. The exchange with international experts and the positive response to its developments reinforce SONOTEC’s commitment to continue developing innovative solutions for non-destructive testing and advancing progress in this important field.

With great enthusiasm, SONOTEC looks forward to incorporating the gained insights and contacts into future projects and developments. WCNDT 2024 was a complete success and another milestone on the path to excellent solutions in NDT.

CETIM relies on SONOTEC’s air-coupled system

The demand is constantly increasing. SONOTEC has just handed over another laboratory system for non-contact ultrasonic testing to its customer CETIM.

 CETIM is a French Technical Center for Mechanical Industries and has been created in 1965 to support innovation and competitiveness of companies thanks to its multidisciplinary expertise and unique R&D capacity.

SONOTEC’s SONOAIR system enables CETIM to perform measurements on materials that are difficult or impossible to inspect using conventional ultrasonic testing. This applies, for example, to state-of-the-art fiber composites or honeycomb structures. This system is coming to complete the broad spectrum of NDT equipment at CETIM’s facilities.

In June 2023 the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) took place at SONOTEC GmbH in Halle, Germany, where sample scans of the customer were carried out directly, which were brought along by Mr. Guillaume Pors on behalf of the customer. Last week, the Site Acceptance Test occured in Nantes, France, during which Andreas Bodi, Director of Electronics Development at SONOTEC GmbH, installed, commissioned, and provided on-site training for the SONOAIR system.

SONOTEC’s ultrasonic transducers have outstanding acoustic properties thanks to their highly flexible SONOTEC piezo-composite technology.

The Award Winning Cygnus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

red dot nov 15The new MK5 Cygnus ultrasonic thickness gauge has been awarded an "Honourable Mention” by Red Dot Award for its design excellence in the most important competition for product design.

Earlier this year, Cygnus Instruments Ltd launched their new range of ultrasonic thickness gauges that were designed and manufactured using a twin shot injection moulded enclosure which has a soft but durable TPE outer skin, making them both comfortable and extremely durable, while the inner shell is strong, keeping the electronics totally sealed from the outside environments.

Cygnus Donates Gauge to FV3805 Restoration Project

cyg nov 15Cygnus Instruments Ltd has donated an ultrasonic thickness gauge to the FV3805 charity project who are restoring a historic FV3805 tank to carry disabled ex-servicemen and women and members of the public.

Working to maintain much of the UK's infrastructure

cygnus-2-hands-freeIn 2014 alone, Amey PLC have purchased a large number of Cygnus 2 Hands Free ultrasonic thickness gauges to maintain much of the UK's infrastructure that people rely on every day.

Cygnus Instruments Ltd are the leading manufacturer of multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges that are used in many industrial applications worldwide.  So far this year, Cygnus have sold over 60 thickness gauges to Amey PLC who provide a wide range of services to the public and regulated sectors.
