From SDT Ultrasound Solutions
Over the past decade maintenance professionals, TPM and Lean manufacturers, and reliability specialists, have embraced airborne ultrasound inspection technology like never before. An ultrasonic detector is a tool unlike any other when speaking in terms of shear versatility and return on investment. The technology has matured quickly to provide maintenance with more and more solutions while consuming less and less resources.
Despite the warm reception of this technology, and its wide spread acceptance into the maintenance tool cribs of America, we still come across the occasional customer who buys into the technology but does not realize the full benefit of an airborne ultrasound program. The equipment is purchased with good intentions but after the initial delivery-day euphoria dissipates the program dies on the vine. Has this happened at your facility? You're not alone. This is a uniquely human phenomenon that everyone has experienced at least once in a lifetime.
