(XARION: Vienna) -- XARION Laser Acoustics, a pioneer in contact-free ultrasonic inspection, is ramping up operations in the United States.

Known for its patented laser-excited acoustics (LEA), XARION offers a dry, fully automatable solution that eliminates the need for coupling media like gels or water. Already trusted by industry leaders like Northrop Grumman, the technology is redefining nondestructive testing in advanced manufacturing.

Overcoming the limits of conventional ultrasonic testing

In the aerospace industry, where even single defects can lead to catastrophic events, quality control is of utmost importance. Nevertheless, the established nondestructive testing (NDT) methods have remained similar for decades. Traditional setups still rely on bulky water immersion tanks or splashing waterjet systems. These approaches complicate workflows and limit the materials that can be tested effectively. XARION’s LEA system removes these constraints by delivering fast, high-resolution testing without contact media.
