THE IMPORTANCE OF NDT IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is essential for ensuring the safety, quality, and durability of modern vehicles. Automotive industries, including manufacturers and suppliers, face significant challenges and increasingly stringent quality standards.

Modern production lines must continuously monitor the quality of individual components during manufacturing to deliver high-performance parts. Even the smallest defect in one of these materials can compromise functionality and lead to system failures.

To ensure optimal quality, CMS designs and develops cutting-edge, automated inspection systems that seamlessly integrate with and adapt to the speed of your production line, providing unmatched reliability.

Leveraging extensive experience in the automotive sector and exceptional adaptability, our comprehensive range of inspection systems allows the assessment of numerous components even the most complex using advanced Eddy Current and Ultrasonic technology. 

CMS systems enable the automotive industry to address technological, environmental, and economic challenges while maintaining the highest quality standards.

cms expertise

  • Defects detection: surface, subsurface, internal, external, transverse, longitudinal, oblique defects, holes, cracks, corrosion…
  • Material sorting, mix grades
  • Heat treatment verification, hardness inspection
  • And much more…

certified inspection systems

All our Eddy Current systems comply with the latest European and international standards, including ASTM, DIN, SAE, ISO, EN, IATF and more.

Our dedicated teams are available to collaborate on your project, working with you to develop an efficient, customized solution that addresses your specific needs and constraints.

main advantages

  • State-of-the-art inspection NDT systems: CMS systems are fully customizable to suit the specific product being inspected, as well as your detection requirements and constraints. Compact and precise, they can inspect industrial parts from high-tech industries.
  • Early Defect Detection: CMS systems help identify surface and sub-surface defects with high sensitivity at early stages of production.
  • Preservation of Material Integrity: CMS NDT systems allow the inspection of automotive components without altering them, meaning they can continue to be used after testing.
  • Enhanced Security: By identifying weaknesses in automotive structures or equipment, NDT reduces the risk of accidents, especially in this kind of industries.
  • Production Quality Control and Certification: CMS systems ensure parts comply with strict industry standards and better management of industrial risks.
  • Real Time Inspection: Thanks to our high-performance CMS software, inspection results are displayed in real-time ensuring continuous quality control.
  • Precise defect analysis and traceability: Comprehensive inspection reports with complete traceability tracking are created at the end of the control.
