The Scientific Industrial Group "Altek" unites several enterprises
specialized in non-destructive ultrasonic and eddy-current testing
Automated flaw-detector series for railway wheelsets of cargo and passenger vehicles
Used in:
Forming, examination and repair of wheelsets with axles РУ1, РУ1Ш and with Knorr-Bremse brake disks

Long-term operation of flaw-detector systems in numerous enterprises confirmed the following:
high performance of wheelset testing (particularly “MC-B” modification) in comparison with manual testing, as an automated flaw-detector provides faster testing independent from the human factor;
high testing capacity (particularly “MC-B” modification), high reliability, long lifetime (all the automated flaw-detectors are still working successfully without major repair);
high value of testing report (quality passport), that guarantees the quality of a wheelset (especially in case of wheelset breakage reasons analysis).
