GrindoSonic
GrindoSonic: “Non-destructive material characterization using Impulse Excitation Technique (IET). Over 60 years of experience, 1700+ systems deployed in 50+ countries.”
How does the GrindoSonic In-Line System integrate with production lines?
“The In-Line System connects to your PLC via the IL Box interface, which handles bi-directional communication: triggering measurements, receiving GO/NOGO signals, and logging data. It supports PLC and OPC-UA protocols for integration with modern manufacturing execution systems.”
View in the company profileHow fast is the In-Line System?
“A full test cycle (excitation, measurement, analysis, GO/NOGO decision) completes in under 1 second. That speed allows 100% inspection of every part on high-speed production lines without bottlenecks.”
View in the company profileWhat types of production defects can the In-Line System detect?
“Any defect that shifts resonance frequency or damping: cracks, porosity, incorrect microstructure, wrong material composition, dimensional deviations, and incomplete heat treatment. Manufacturers use it for 100% inspection of gears, bearings, brake discs, valves, and turbine blades.”
View in the company profileDoes the In-Line System require operator intervention?
“No. Once configured, the system runs 24/7 without operator input. The external impulse device delivers consistent excitation, the MK7 processes the signal, and the IL Box sends the GO/NOGO result to the PLC.”
