Dürr NDT celebrates 15 years of excellence
17/11/2021
Founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of Dürr Dental SE, Dürr NDT quickly became one of the market-leading manufacturers of imaging plate scanners for non-destructive testing (NDT) with the launch of its CR 35 models. The technology, known as computed radiography (CR), employs reusable imaging plates and offers itself as a digital and environmentally friendly substitute for conventional X-ray film. This was followed in 2013 by the newly developed HD-CR 35 NDT with TreFoc technology, a unique laser focusing system that enables a very wide range of applications. The HD-CR 35 NDT achieves a basic spatial resolution of 30 µm, which to this day is unmatched in the field of computed radiography, it is claimed.In 2016, Dürr NDT expanded its portfolio with flat-panel detectors and once again revolutionised digital radiography (DR) with the launch of the compact complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector DR 7 NDT. With a pixel pitch of 19 µm, it achieves a basic spatial resolution of 25 µm. Because of this high resolution, the DR 7 NDT is said to be the preferred choice for aerospace applications. In 2018, this was followed by the DRC 2430 NDT, a wireless flat-panel detector with 76 µm pixel pitch, designed specifically for mobile use and the requirements of industrial radiography.
In 2019, Dürr NDT again demonstrated its pioneering spirit by introducing DRIVE NDT, a holistic workflow management software solution for NDT. With this web application, the entire NDT workflow, including report generation for all test procedures, can be carried out in one system.
From the early days, all radiographic systems worked with the imaging and analysis software D-Tect, developed by Dürr NDT. In 2020, the software was enhanced with a radical redesign. Developed in close cooperation with users and Level 3 experts, D-Tect X opened up completely new dimensions in terms of user-friendliness and performance.
Dürr NDT now offers a wide range of innovative solutions that are used worldwide by renowned companies in diverse industries such as mechanical engineering, oil & gas and aerospace. Typical applications include weld inspection, erosion and corrosion inspection, casting inspection and scientific materials testing. With the help of a worldwide network of specialist dealers, customers are now served in over 100 countries.
Looking ahead, Dürr NDT will continue to drive the digitalisation of NDT with innovations and support its customers with high-performance solutions.
