Non-destructive testing solutions with active thermography

Thermographic non-destructive testing (ndt) solutions of Automation Technology

IrNDT is a high-quality solution for non-destructive testing of sundry materials. The setup captivates by its modular architecture and supports all known NDT techniques:

  • Lock-In thermography
  • Pulse thermography
  • Transient thermography
  • Vibro thermography
  • Thermal stress analysis (TSA)

Depending on the inspection task, the IrNDT base package is complemented with one or more evaluation modules. This way the system can be customized to meet the customer’s needs; containing only the tools required to solve the application.

A heat source gives the inspected material a thermal excitation. The flow of thermal energy through the material has a direct influence on the temperature development on the object’s surface. If the temperature development on the surface is recorded over a certain period of time with an infrared camera and a mathematical analysis is applied to the acquired data. Then, if the processed data is displayed as an image, this image will provide us with information about the internal structure of the material or about possible defects in it.

  • Inspection of composite materials
  • Detection of air cavities in the foam of dashboard
  • Thermoelastic stress analysis
  • Detection of hidden defects like cracks, disbondings or delaminations in metal or plastic materials
  • Inspection of photovoltaic cells for shunts, cracks and contacting failures Inspection of welded seams, adhesive bondings, soldering and rivet connections
