Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques can encounter challenges when dealing with a variety of surface finishes. The effectiveness of certain NDT methods, such as visual inspection or liquid penetrant testing, can be hindered by surfaces with complex textures, roughness, or irregularities and require smooth surfaces to deliver reliable test results. Similarly, rough or uneven surfaces can impede the proper application and removal of liquid penetrant materials, affecting the accuracy of defect detection. Our Nonlinear resonance NDT technology is unaffected by surface finish meaning that we can successfully examine the internal structure of products made with a range of materials.

RD1-TT can deliver reliable pass/fail NDT test results in under one minute. This rapid NDT method allows for quicker inspection and evaluation of components or products. This leads to increased productivity by reducing inspection time and enabling faster turnaround in manufacturing processes. Manufacturers can streamline their production lines, minimize bottlenecks, and enhance overall operational efficiency. By reducing inspection time, manufacturers can also allocate resources more efficiently, optimize labour utilisation, and potentially reduce production downtime. Additionally, faster inspections can help identify defects or issues early in the manufacturing process, preventing further costly production of faulty components.

We’ve simplified the non-destructive testing process, which means tests can be performed without the presence of highly skilled operators. The lack of requirements for non-specialised personnel reduces the need for hiring or outsourcing highly skilled engineers, which can be costly. Companies can allocate their resources more efficiently and potentially reduce overall inspection and maintenance costs. Nonlinear resonance NDT also makes it easier for a broader range of individuals to perform inspections and evaluations. This increased accessibility allows for wider implementation of NDT practices across different industries, including smaller businesses or organizations that may not have the resources to employ specialised personnel. Operators can be trained relatively quickly to perform a non-destructive test using RD1-TT and this allows for faster deployment of inspection procedures and enables prompt response to routine maintenance or quality control requirements.
