As a cutting-edge technology in the field of Non-destructive Testing (NDT), it provides an advanced solution for industries requiring high-resolution, non-contact inspections. CICNDT is proud to integrate this innovative system into our suite of NDT services, offering enhanced detection capabilities for critical applications.

Photothermal (PTT) Tomography  – Overview

NDT and Evaluation with PTT

Composite Inspection and Consulting employs state-of-the-art active photothermal thermography technology developed by voidsy gmbh to provide highly accurate non-destructive testing services. This technique uses an optical energy source to induce thermal changes in components, with an infrared camera capturing surface temperature data during and after excitation. The resulting thermal response is analyzed to extract quantitative information about material structure, properties, and defects.

In addition to utilizing this technology, CICNDT also offers voidsy gmbh systems for sale to clients seeking advanced in-house testing capabilities.

Features:

  • Compact, Smart, and Easy to Automate: Streamlined for efficient integration.
  • No Water or Coupling Gel Needed: Simplifies setup and operation.
  • Quantitative Defect Sizing: Delivers accurate assessments.
  • High-Speed Inspection: Ensures rapid and reliable results.
  • Flexible Configurations: Supports both pulse-echo and through-transmission methods.

Advanced NDT and Evaluation with Photothermal Tomography

CICNDT, in collaboration with voidsy gmbh and Omni NDE, offers advanced Non-destructive Testing (NDT) services using Photothermal Tomography. The voidsy 3D V-ROX system, combined with Omni NDE’s expertise in automation and sensor technology, enables precise, contactless inspections of complex materials and assemblies.

PTT works by applying optical energy to induce thermal changes in components, with an infrared camera capturing surface temperature data during and after excitation. This thermal response is analyzed to extract detailed information about the material’s structure, properties, and potential defects. Omni NDE ensures that this system not only detects defects but also provides imaging and measurement capabilities previously unavailable in industrial NDT.

We proudly implement this technology and offer the voidsy 3D V-ROX system to clients seeking to enhance their in-house testing capabilities.

Key Features:

  • Seamless Integration: Developed with Omni NDE’s automation expertise.
  • Non-Contact Operation: Simplifies setup with no need for water or coupling gel.
  • Accurate Defect Sizing: Delivers precise assessments.
  • Rapid Inspections: Optimizes both time and cost.
  • Versatile Configurations: Supports multiple testing methods.
