No separate facility, separate device or separate operator required. Automatic ultrasonic scanning is performed immediately after the billet is cut, without stopping the line.
Casting parameters and ultrasonic scanning data are recorded simultaneously. Not only defect detection but also root-cause analysis is possible.
Automatic defect map and digital test certificate for every billet. Complete documentation for customer audits and export processes.
Software and mechanical integration with the casting machine from the same supplier. Fast local technical support, retrofit capability for existing lines.
Immediately after the billet is cut, automatic ultrasonic scanning is performed without stopping the line. The system instantly triggers an alarm upon detection of internal cracks, voids or segregation, and marks the defective part. No third-party device, separate operator or separate floor space is needed.
High-frequency sound waves are transmitted through the metal. Echoes reflected from cracks, voids or non-homogeneous zones are analysed by the receiver sensor. No radiation required; non-destructive. It is the standard quality control method mandated in aerospace, automotive and defence sectors.
A patent application has been filed for the casting-line-integrated ultrasonic testing system developed by GUMEN. The distinctive aspect of the system is its synchronised operation with the casting machine at both mechanical and software level: casting parameters (speed, temperature, water flow) and ultrasonic scanning data are recorded and correlated simultaneously. This makes root-cause analysis possible beyond mere defect detection.
