Cetim relies on Sonotec’s air-coupled system to test modern materials
11/01/2024
Sonotec GmbH, a leading specialist in ultrasonic measurement technology solutions, has handed over another laboratory system for non-contact ultrasonic testing to its customer Cetim.
Cetim, the Technical Centre for Mechanical Industries, was established in France in 1965 to support the innovation and competitiveness of companies due to its multi-disciplinary expertise and unique research and development capacity.

Sonotec’s non-contact Sonoair ultrasonic testing system enables Cetim to perform measurements on materials that are difficult or impossible to inspect using conventional ultrasonic testing. This applies, for example, to state-of-the-art fibre composites or honeycomb structures. This system will complete the broad spectrum of non-destructive testing equipment available at Cetim’s facilities.
Sonotec’s ultrasonic transducers have outstanding acoustic properties due to the company’s highly flexible piezocomposite technology.
In June 2023, the factory acceptance test took place at Sonotec GmbH in Halle, Germany, where sample scans were carried out directly, which were brought along by Guillaume Pors on behalf of the customer. The site acceptance test occurred in Nantes, France, during which Andreas Bodi, Director of Electronics Development at Sonotec GmbH, installed, commissioned and provided on-site training for the Sonoair system.
