In-line ultrasonic heavy plate inspection system Steel plates are the base material further processed into pipes, wind generator towers, ship hulls and a variety of other finished goods. Ensuring this base material is defect free before further processing reduces overall cost and helps eliminate end item failure. The Krautkrämer line of automated, in-line ultrasonic plate testers span applications from steel used in SAW Pipe to heavy plates used in wind towers and other demanding structural applications. The Krautkrämer line of steel plate testers are complete turnkey systems ready to integrate into customer production lines or as standalone systems. These machines provide 100% full-body inspection or sampling inspection that match the throughput of production lines. We used to be GE Inspection Technologies, now we’re Waygate Technologies, a global leader in NDT solutions with more than 125 years of experience in ensuring quality, safety and productivity.
