ARI (Acoustic Resonance Inspection) System

Smart Test™ Pro Plus
SmartTest™ PRO PLUS is the perfect choice for testing ductile iron and other castings, powdered metal, stamped parts, forgings and other types of components where there is significant manufacturing variation from lot to lot.
SmartTest™ – with industry leading bandwidth, resolution, and signal quality is quickly becoming the standard for high speed, high volume inspection of components that are safety critical or critical to quality.
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 PLUS system can detect inconsistencies or flaws such as low nodularity, cracks, cold shuts, porosity, missing material or features and mixed parts. It can also detect if processes have been missed, such as a machining or heat treating operations.
