NDT Bar Inspection Systems

Compact Design

The Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux Series is the most compact full-body inspection solution for inspecting metal bars available in the market. Due to the compact dimensions of the mechanics, the ROWA™ Ux system can be seamlessly integrated into an existing inspection line or installed offline in a rolling mill manufacturing process for quality assurance purposes.

Workflow-Based User Interface

The Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux software has been fully revised in accordance with the latest usability standards. Operators must simply follow the workflow that takes them through the whole inspection process from beginning to end:

Setup – Calibrate – Inspect – Analyze.

The possibility of individual evaluation of overlapping gates makes setup easier for critical dimensions.

Modular USIPxs Platform

Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux 's state-of-the-art USIP|xs electronics platform processes the gathered inspection data at very high speeds for fast on-line inspection with an exceptional probability of detection.

Its modular design with digital optic signal transmission between boxes facilitates robustness, easy maintenance, and enables the fast change of broken electronic parts. Because of this integrated box design, less spare parts are needed.

Increased Testing Speeds

With newly implemented capabilities, the Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux achieves up to 30% higher testing speeds.

Maximized Calibration Repeatability

Thanks to the automatic calibration and system checks with the reference standard manipulator RSM, you can achieve maximum calibration repeatability without user intervention.

Meets Industry Standards

The Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux meets ISO 18563, AMS2154 class AA, NADCAP, and all major automotive and aerospace industry standards.

Easy Maintenance

The Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux has compact test mechanics with non-moving parts, no bearings, and no rotating seals due to Phased Array Technology. This results in overall system robustness, short changeover times, and minimum commissioning time.

The ultrasonic coupling is realized by a rotating water (ROWA) jacket, generated by tangentially flowing coupling water. It constantly expels dirt and prevents air bubbles from forming in the water. The bars are then fed into the test chamber one-by-one on linear tracks by a guiding and transport device. A lifting/shifting table is required for the installation of the test mechanism within the guiding and transport line.
