NDT (Non-Destructive Testing)
My Background
I have developed and worked on a broad variety of NDT systems, including inductive sensors for rail flaw detection, ultrasonics, structured light scanning, LiDAR, medical sensors, and hyperspectral imaging. My expertise spans multiple industries, applying diverse sensing techniques to detect material defects while preserving structural integrity.
What I Offer
I offer development of devices and consulting on a broad range NDT Techniques, and development of new NDT systems.
- Eddy Current Testing – Metal detection and analysis
- Ultrasonic Testing – A broad variety of uses
- Structured Light & LiDAR Scanning – Capturing high-resolution 3D surface data for weld inspection, corrosion monitoring, and deformation analysis.
- Hyperspectral & Multispectral Imaging – Analysing spectral data for material composition assessment and defect detection in industrial applications.
- Thermographic Inspection – Using infrared imaging to detect temperature variations indicating subsurface defects or weaknesses.
- Luminescence Imaging – high-sensitivity material analysis, enabling defect detection and quality control.
Industry Applications
- Weld Inspection – Line-scan camera solutions for real-time, high-speed weld quality assessment.
- Food industry – produce quality control.
- Manufacturing – quality control and source material inspection
- Mining – Ore inspection and grading
