About Sonic Sensors is the premier EMAT solution provider.

Sonic Sensors specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of ultrasonic inspection equipment using EMAT, Electro Magnetic Ultrasonic Transducer. The EMAT is a non-contact method of generating and receiving elastic waves in a metallic material. EMAT Ultrasonics can measure material properties, or thickness, or find cracks or corrosion in a metal object. The EMAT is particularly well suited for “Guided Wave” applications because the frequency and wavelength can be discretely defined in the EMAT isolating a specific wave mode. The operation of an EMAT is reviewed in the Fundamentals section.

Sonic Sensors supplies “ Turn Key ” systems for your difficult NDE problems using EMATs, Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducers. The EMAT is an inductive transducer and is considearably different than conventional piezo-electric transducers which are capacitive in nature. The unique requirements of an EMAT require specialized electronics to achieve superior results. Sonic Sensors has developed the necessary pulsers, receivers and signal processing to permit the highly versatile EMAT to be easily applied to commercial applications. Sonic Sensors EMAT Systems are engineered to be broad banded versatile instruments to address numerous applications with a vast array of transducers.

If the problem involves quality control in a manufactured product or the integrity of an appliance in service an EMAT solution may be the most cost effective solution . Many difficult inspection problems can be solved with an EMAT. Sonic Sensors can perform an inspection at your facility, perform inspections at our facility, or design a system specific to your needs and train you how to perform your own inspection. There are a number of routine inspections commercially available and innumerable potential applications. Call Sonic Sensors today to discuss your inspection service needs.
