PTvis 6000

Pulse thermography for fast layer and material inspection

Characterize material properties and near-surface defects without contact. PTvis 6000 uses active pulse thermography for fast non-destructive inspection of layers, coatings and composite materials. A short, intense light pulse with up to 6 kJ heats the component surface while a fast infrared camera captures the subsequent heat flow.

Delaminations, porosity, corrosion beneath coatings and variations in layer thickness influence the thermal response and can be visualized through software-based evaluation. Pulse phase analysis also enables quantitative characterization of material properties such as layer thickness or thermal diffusivity. The compact system is suited for flexible inspection tasks in quality assurance, laboratory and industrial environments.

Product highlights

Your advantages at a glance

Short inspection times: A high-energy flash pulse enables rapid thermographic acquisition of an entire inspection area
High defect contrast: Near-surface delaminations, porosity and material inhomogeneities become visible through disturbances in heat flow
Quantitative material analysis: Layer thickness, porosity and thermal diffusivity can be determined from the thermal response
Non-contact inspection: Thermal excitation and infrared detection are performed without direct contact with the component
Robust evaluation: Pulse phase analysis reduces the influence of varying surface properties and non-uniform heating
Flexible applications: Suitable for coatings, paints, fiber-reinforced composites and adhesive bonds
