Itasonic 2010© utilises the Sonic Resonance method for non destructive controls on raw or processed metallic, ceramic or sintered parts.
Itasonic 2010© is used:
• To test the natural vibration frequencies, a requirement which has become fundamental for components in vehicle braking systems (FRF Analysis).
• To find structural defects such as variation of shape and weight, presence of cracks, stress cracks, discontinuity, density difference and elasticity module.
Sonic control is based on a precise principle of physics: every type of part has its own resonance frequency which generates a unique characteristic curve. In fact, the resonance frequencies depend on clearly defined factors:
• Weight
• Structure
• Form
• Integrity
• Chemical composition
• Mechanical characteristics
The resonance curve will change in presence of variations to the above listed parameters.
The analysis of the resonance frequencies allows to separate in a very short time (1-2 sec.) the good pieces from the rejects.
Itasonic 2010© is available in manual version or in automatic version, and it can be easily inserted in existing production lines.
