Ultran has successfully applied its non-contact technology for various wood inspection applications, including the following:
Very thick wood composites: Weyerhaeuser Parallam™ – parallel strand lumber
- Extremely attenuative parallel strand lumber inspected with very low frequency ultrasound transducers and high power U710x system
Furniture grade solid wood
- Furniture grade solid wood inspected using mid-frequency (500 kHz) ultrasound for detection of fine detail including wood splits, joint defects and knots
Wood veneer for furniture
- Wood veneer inspected for voids, inclusions, and delamination – all detected using non-contact ultrasound
Wooden slats for pencil manufacturing
