Product Information

The SmartTest™ Principle

The principle behind SmartTest™ is simple. Every part has a unique resonant signature or pattern that reflects its composition. Any deviation from the expected resonant signature indicates the presence of structural inconsistencies commonly due to flaws or mechanical variations.

The easy-to-use ST-PRO system can detect inconsistencies, imperfections or flaws such as cracks, missing features and mixed parts. It can also detect if processes have been missed, such as a machining or heat treating operation.

Detectable flaw types

  • Material variances – hardness, density, grain structure, residual, stress, oxides, decarb
  • Cracks, chipped gear teeth, missing material, voids
  • Brazing variances, poor bonding
  • Low nodularity, cold shuts, porosity, short fills, missing features
  • Dimensional issues, mixing of parts
  • Double strikes, laps, tears, delamination, hot shorts

Advantages

  • Whole body test detects both internal and external flaws
  • Detects material property issues, e.g. hardness, residual stress
  • Fast and accurate – typically 1-2 seconds per part
  • No part preparation or cleanup required
  • Any rigid component can be tested
  • Can be fully automated
  • Can be configured for ‘inline’ or ‘offline’ use

Features

  • High volume turnkey system – 100% inspection on the factory floor
  • SmartTest™ ARS – the most advanced flaw detection available anywhere
  • SmartTest™ analyzer – ultra fast cycle times, highest resolution in the industry
  • SmartTest™ impact actuator – nearly infinite life, zero maintenance
  • Automated reject containment – 100% ‘positive capture’
  • Soft HMI – never open a ladder diagram
  • Productivity utilities – speed adjustment, eliminate errors
