Ultrasonic flaw detection system analyzes shafts, pins.(Testing/Analysis)

A portable ultrasonic flaw detection system based on V-scan volumetric grid analysis provides repeatable in-situ testing of shafts, axles, and pins, reports Unitech Engineering, Pelham, Ala. Developed by CCI Pope Ltd., the ShafTest system allows fast in-situ scanning from the shaft end and maximizes data capture and detail, while 3D graphic displays and software tools speed and simplify crack analysis. The system enables repeatable in-situ testing of shafts and axles in rail cars, ships, turbines, off-road machinery, and similar heavy equipment. The system requires only shaft-end ...
