Matec Instrument Companies Inc. (Northborough, Mass., U.S.) highlights its nondestructive ultrasonic testing solutions, including a full range of in-house services for every step of the process, from initial design through system commissioning and training. These solutions are tailored to the testing needs of industries such as aerospace, military, railroad, specialty metals and medical manufacturing.

According to the company, its robotic inspection systems can provide machine operators with increased efficiency, reduced physical strain and improved job satisfaction, as they are able to focus on more complex and engaging tasks. Clients can also experience optimized scalability, flexibility, quality and consistency, as well as time savings.

With the ongoing shortage of skilled machine operators, the company says that robotic integration is becoming essential in maintaining a quality workforce. Automated machine tendering can enable a single team member to oversee multiple systems simultaneously. This “one man, one cell” approach is said to deliver increased productivity at a lower cost than the traditional one-operator-per-system model.

Matec’s testing systems vary in size and complexity, from small laboratory tanks to advanced multi-axis immersion and gantry systems. Its solutions are intended to not only improve inspection accuracy and efficiency, but enhance safety and reduce downtime. Matec’s software engineers can also develop customized scan forms and algorithms specific to customers’ application demands.
