Problem
Traditional nondestructive testing (NDT) methods often require specialized equipment and can be limited in their ability to handle complex geometries or materials. Detecting flaws and evaluating material properties without causing damage remains a challenge, especially in industries requiring high precision and automation.
Solution
PRAGMA develops and manufactures portable instruments and systems for nondestructive testing (NDT) of materials, offering solutions for complex geometries and materials. Their multi-modality platforms support ultrasonic testing (UT), phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), and eddy current testing (ECT). The company's products enable the evaluation of material properties and the detection of defects without causing damage to the tested object, with options for manual, semi-manual, or robotic integration. PRAGMA's software solutions provide advanced 2D and 3D imaging capabilities, facilitating comprehensive analysis and interpretation of NDT data.
