The instruments of innovation

The large scope of ultrasonic applications requires instruments from a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines.
Depending on the requirements, our team of engineers and technicians, all with extensive industrial experience, use :

• a research approach, involving the latest modelling, design and research tools and equipment: calculation software which uses 3D mechanical CAD / electronic CAD and mechanical CAD finite elements. The research department is able to design effective ultrasonic systems and sources which are suitable for a large variety of applications.

• extensive experience in mechanics and electronics.
• ultrasound  specific measurement and control methods, impedance analyser, laser vibrometer …
