Resonant Acoustic Method
Resonance Inspection Delivers 100% Quality Inspected Parts
In the world of manufacturing today, the potential liability of shipping a defective part is catastrophic to you, your customer and the consumer. Resonant Inspection via Non-Destructive Test Resonant Acoustic Method (NDT-RAM™) is designed to help you deliver fully inspected parts, economically and on time, giving you confidence in the quality of your parts.
The principle of NDT-RAM is simple. Every part has a unique resonant signature or pattern that reflects its composition. Any deviation from the expected signature or pattern indicates the presence of a structural flaw or variation. A familiar example is a cracked bell that no longer has a clear ring and cannot hold its tone. Learn more about how NDT-RAM compares to other methods of non-destructive testing and non-destructive inspection.
NDT-RAM detects imperfections such as variances in dimension, geometry, weight, density, bonding, voids, cracks and missed manufacturing processes. The entire procedure takes approximately 3 seconds per part, allowing for efficient quality control testing of all the parts in your process line.
