Automated Ultrasonic Testing Systems for High-Throughput Inspection
Streamlined, accurate, and scalable ultrasonic systems built for industrial automation and continuous flaw detection
Overview
Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Systems bring unmatched speed, precision, and repeatability to non-destructive testing processes. By combining high-frequency ultrasonic inspection with robotic motion control and advanced software, these systems eliminate manual variation, reduce inspection time, and ensure complete coverage of critical components. AUT is essential for large-scale, high-volume, or high-risk inspections where traditional manual testing is inefficient or insufficient.
This page outlines the full capabilities of automated ultrasonic testing systems, including their integrated technologies, software, and industry applications. Acoustic Testing Pro delivers robust, high-performance AUT solutions across North America, helping B2B clients accelerate inspections, improve defect detection, and meet regulatory compliance with confidence. With our foundation of innovation, product reliability, and responsive support, we guide businesses through automation upgrades that enhance quality control while reducing operational risk.

Case Studies
United States
Inline Weld Inspection – Pipeline Manufacturer, Tulsa, OK
A pipeline fabricator integrated GAO Tek’s automated ultrasonic system into its production line to inspect girth welds. The system reduced manual labor and improved defect detection accuracy, leading to a 25% reduction in rework rates.
United States
Aerospace Composite Testing – Aircraft Plant, Everett, WA
An aerospace OEM implemented a robotic AUT system to scan composite fuselage sections for delamination. The high-speed scanning and detailed C-scan imaging enabled faster QA cycles without compromising inspection depth.
Canada
Pressure Vessel Fabrication – Nuclear Supplier, Ontario
A Canadian pressure vessel supplier adopted Acoustic Testing Pro’s AUT solution to comply with CSA and ASME standards. Integrated motion control and defect mapping software ensured full code compliance and audit-ready reporting.
