Ultrasound devices give early warning on
failures
Hand-held ultrasound devices enable reduced production downtime, faster turn around of service failure and the opportunity to identify early lifecycle failures.
Ultrasound is the range of frequencies that exist above the human hearing range, with most people hearing sounds within the 50Hz to 15,000Hz range Ultrasound frequencies are those in the range of 20,000Hz to 100,000Hz

Check for air leaks and save energy costs
Wasted energy in compressed air is quite common. It is therefore sensible to continuously inspect the company's air, vacuum or gas installations on a frequent basis.
Qualify to HNC standard in your spare time
A technical training operation provides a service for those who are unable to attend college on either a full-time or part-time basis for HNC engineering courses.
Typically what you cannot hear is what you need to hear to identify future or actual failure modes in nearly all systems.
The ability to efficiently identify failure modes and act accordingly plays an important part in most aspects of industry today.
Ultrasound has been successfully used for many years for many industrial applications in many different types of industries.
Logis-Tech Associates is the UK distributor for a range of hand-held ultrasound devices that can enable reduced production downtime, faster turn around of service failure and the opportunity to identify early lifecycle failures.
These Ultrasonic EP Stethoscope/leak detection units can be used for three main purposes: (1) Mechanical Evaluation (typical wear of bearings, motors/pumps, compressor, gears, valves/diffusers, hydraulic, pneumatic, braking systems, engine systems, mechanical moving parts, equipment enclosed within casings, etc,.) (2) Leak detection (compressed air systems, cooling systems, hydraulic systems, tyres, exhaust systems, steam systems, steam traps, pressurized systems, refrigeration systems, non-pressurized systems, seals and gaskets, tanks, vacuums).
(3) Electrical Evaluation (arching, loose connections, open/short circuits, corona discharge, etc) The EP Ultrasonic stethoscope/leak detectors quickly repay their initial cost outlay and make companies considerable in-house savings.
They are also very easy to use and require no training.
The EP Ultrasonic stethoscope / leak detectors are an essential piece of equipment for all maintenance/production staff. Request a free brochure from Logis-Tech Associates ...
