nir-vana innovation network

The Russian company engaged in innovative developments from Moscow was founded in 2006. The company has developed contact laser-ultrasonic structroscopy (CLUS). Contact laser-ultrasonic structroscopy (CLUS) is a device that allows detecting ultrasonic flaw detection and structroscopy of structural materials and their products.

Laser-ultrasonic structroscopy studies the internal structure and measurement of the characteristics of materials using laser emitters of ultrasonic pulses. Due to the short duration of the ultrasonic pulses, the resolution and sensitivity of the method are increased. The absence of a dead zone at the converter and side lobes at the ultrasound beam. This ensures effective control of complex and finned structures, which is not available to traditional methods. Laser-ultrasonic structroscopy is able to work with all the main materials used in industry: metal, composites, ceramics, plastic.

The delivery package includes: a computer for reading and processing data, a laser-ultrasonic converter, an optical fiber, an optoelectronic unit. The main technical characteristics of the device: Sending frequency, Hz: 1000; resolution, mm: 0.1 (0.5 -1.5 transverse); sensing depth: composites up to 40 mm /metals up to 400 mm.

CLUS can be used in many industries: in the aerospace, nuclear, defense industry, shipbuilding, engine building, energy, pipeline and railway transport. Thanks to the use of this system in any of the industries, it controls the quality of products, minimizes defects and reduces the cost value.

The Russian company is looking for reliable partners from any of the fields of industry to conclude a distribution services agreement. Within the framework of this agreement, the Russian side is ready to undertake obligations to supply its products to a foreign partner. The products will be delivered with technical documentation and certification. The purpose of this agreement is for the Russian company to increase the sales market for its products, enter the foreign market and increase the company's profit. When expressing interest on the part of the partner, all the conditions will be agreed personally.

Advantages & innovations

1) In comparison with analogues, this CLUS system is able to solve the following tasks: - Determination of residual stresses in metals (from 25 Mpa); - Control of the continuity (porosity) of metals, composites, ceramics (from 0.1%); - Control of products of additive technologies, including functional coatings; - Measurements of local elastic modulus of solid media (thickness 2-10 mm). 2) The measurement accuracy and resolution of contact laser-ultrasonic structroscopy is 8 times higher than that of traditional ultrasound. 3) The device has received a certification on the approval of the type of measuring instruments.
