An automated immersion ultrasonic testing system for inspecting cylindrical workpieces such as shafts made of carbon and high-alloy steels, using pulse-echo and mirror-shadow inspection methods. The system ensures high productivity and objectivity of testing through full automation of the process, minimizing the influence of the human factor and significantly improving the reliability and repeatability of results.
Inspection objects:
Rotationally symmetrical components such as shafts, axles and similar.
Small and large-sized workpieces.

Inspection scenario
The system consists of an immersion tank with a test object fixing and rotating mechanism The test part is submerged in the immersion inspection tank filled with water, which acts as a coupling medium. The ultrasonic probe is fixed on the manupulator which is part of a multi-axis scanner. The probe is moved on the pre-set trajectories over the object surface, according to the customer's specifications, creating a massive of inspection data points. The signals are registered, processed and displayed in the specialized software su te in form of A-scans (in each point), B-scans and C-scans images..
