Ultrasonic rotating heads
RotoUTscan system for
accurate defects detection
CONTRÔLE Mesure Systèmes
designs, develops and manufactures
a complete NDT range of products in
eddy current and ultrasonic testing
methods, which comprise high
performance instruments and systems,
probes and transducers, accessories,
and complete turnkey machines with its
mechanics associated.
Through its products and its remote
assistance, Contrôle Mesure Systèmes
provides, all over the world, quality
and productivity solutions for industrial
applications.
For high quality tubes from diameter
6 to 250mm, welded or not, in stainless
steel, titanium, zirconium, but also
in carbon steel, CMS proposes a full
range of ultrasonic rotating heads
named RotoUTscan. Several UT
transducers (up to 12) with different
angles in accordance with the NDT
normatives, are in motion around the
tube with high speed (up to 6,000
RPM), for: longitudinal defect detection;
transversal defect detection; thickness
measurement as well as OD – ID and
ovalisation.
RotoUTscan are driven by a fast
electronic UTR which is a high
accuracy ultrasonic inspection system,
for in line high-speed flaw detection and
dimensional measurements of ID/OD/
thickness. Employing PCI architecture,
instrument operation is made fast and
easy via Windows-based inspection
screens and intuitive dialogue boxes
for ultrasonic set up.
RotoUTscan can be combined with
other CMS equipment like EC rotating
heads (RotoETscan) or magnetising
units with coil installed together in a
strong control bench including centring
devices.
Supervision software named Probus
(used to collect information provided
by NDT equipment), allows customers
to display combined signals (UT/ET)
and create inspection reports that can
be used as control evidence for quality
services and customers. Data stored
can be recalled for analysis and quality
treatment.

Mumbay (30 October – 1 November) on
its local agent booth, NDTS.
