Harness the power of automation with TPAC’s expertise for seamless transition.

Easy integration for your NDT automation

In today’s fast-changing industries, automation and industrialization processes are becoming more important for many different reasons. With our history and experience, TPAC is here to support you in this transition.

The trajectory towards automation and robotization is an anticipated paradigm shift in various industrial processes, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is no exception. This transition promises multifaceted benefits, encompassing cost reduction in inspections, heightened inspection efficiency, enhanced safety protocols, and, crucially, data reliability.

Many forms of optimization can be achieved with the power of TPAC’s solutions, from the simplest scanner to the most complex fully autonomous robots:

Automated scanning systems, equipped with ultrasonic sensors, are designed to move along the surface of a structure or component, ensuring comprehensive coverage. These systems can be programmed to follow specific scanning patterns, allowing for consistent and repeatable inspections.

BENEFITS AND SUCCESS STORY

For the past 6 years, TPAC instruments have been integrated into USL’s automated inspection machines, increasing capabilities and enhancing precision for critical applications. While phased array has primarily been integrated on USL machines, in combination with water jets,
contact and immersion coupling methods have also been implemented. 

In aerospace, one of the main benefits of TPAC’s phased array instrumentation has been increased throughput, in addition:

  • Streamlined inspection processes 
  •  Accurate defect detection and sizing 
  • Added advanced automation possibilities 
 
TPAC’s instruments on USL machines in R&D labs are propelling pioneering research, refining ultrasonic testing methodologies, and offering comprehensive insights into product quality.
