Hardness. Porosity. Micro-Cracks. Inclusions. Density. Corrosion. Adaptive Energy helps industrial and government entities assess all of these material parameters and more with customized, non-destructive testing methods. We apply cutting-edge ultrasonic, computed tomography, and digital radiography technologies, combined with innovative mechanical and robotic components and software applications to create integrated material testing solutions for virtually any environment.
For example, Adaptive Energy has:
- Designed and fabricated an automated X-ray scanning system for on-line vertical density and surface profile analysis of foam mattress material Read more
- Developed low frequency wideband transducers for large grain/structure materials such as concrete, clay brick, cork, formed plastics, honeycomb composite, rubber, wood, laminated lumber, bone, and attenuative large grain stainless steel to determine material velocity, thickness, bonding, and for crack detection Read more
- Designed and built a 2400-liter immersion tank for component analysis. It is equipped with a five-axis scanner, a turntable, and two special pipe scanners to perform ultrasonic testing of components such as curved pipes and rotary symmetric objects.

- Devised an ultrasonic inspection solution to provide faster, automated scanning of forged rolled rings up to 10 meters in diameter to meet increased production volume Read more
