HIGHLY RELIABLE
“INTELLIGENT”
SYSTEMS OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

 for molded goods, welded joints,

various assemblies, gears, etc.

 Here are some recent developments of «CTG» ensuring life safety in the field of diagnostics and nondestructive inspection:

• search system of control  SSC series;
• intelligent control hammers ICH series;
• laser diagnostic systems LDS;
• complex acoustic diagnostic CAD;
• complex of continuous diagnostic  of CCD series.

     The intelligent complexes "SSC", "ICH", "LDS" and "CAD" developed by "CTG" use the free oscillation technique and allow obtaining an objective appraisal of condition of the item being inspected and evaluating the revealed defects in terms of degree of their influence on its performance characteristics, and they also have a number of unconditional advantages over the alternatives. Here are the main advantages:

• feature a unique inspection accuracy which exceeds this parameter of the alternatives by tens of percent;
• have an operating speed which doubles the speed of the alternatives;
• enable eliminating the human factor by processing information automatically and saving it in the electronic database of the items being inspected;
• equipped  with  the  remote  control  systems  allowing  on-line  performance  of  the following:

                 - control of work results of the nondestructive testing inspectors’ in different periphery departments from the central server;

                 -transfer of all necessary information to the central server directly from the inspection sites irrespective of their location and quantity;                   - creation of a central automated database of all items being inspected on- site;

•  in addition, they do not require the surface preparation procedure prior to inspection of the items;

• do not damage the environment;
• are comfortable in service and do not affect adversely the people;
• equipped  with  the  panoramic  scanning  systems  allowing  to  define  the  defects location in the inspected areas of the items being diagnosed;
• completed with various periphery equipment enabling among other things to diagnose the items located at a considerable distance (up to 50 m) from the complex.
• in addition, which is extremely important, a high sensitiveness of the method allows not only revealing almost all defects located in the item being inspected irrespective of their type and spatial orientation, but it also enables recording the structural changes thus predicting a possible appearance of defects in the material of the item being inspected which can subsequently result in serious breakdowns.

         The smart continuous diagnostic complexes of "CCD" series using the noncontact nondestructive testing method allow a stable identification of both external and hidden defects, including cracks.          Among the developments of this series, there is the smart complex "CCD-1" focused on nondestructive testing of railway car wheel pairs which allows a steady detection of different operating defects (external and hidden cracks) for the minimum time (about 50 seconds) in all components of the wheelchair: rim, wheel centre, and wheel set axle.          The smart complex "CCD-2" implementing the rail nondestructive testing project makes it possible to perform diagnostics at the speeds of up to 120 km/hour  representing an unconditional advantage over other diagnostic equipment and methods.          Additionally, the smart complex of continuous diagnostics "CCD-3" has been developed which is able to identify defects of contact-wire lines, copper wire rods, wires, etc. located at any depth, both on the surface and inside the metal.         Thus, we can surely affirm that the ease of use and accessibility, the capability of use in the form of re-equipment of existing nondestructive testing sections with their production accessories, the minimum operating costs, and the extremely high degree of defects detectability make the use of the equipment supplied by "CTG" effective from the technical and economical points of view.
