ultrasonic instrument and an enhanced user interface, theKrautkrämer ROWA™ Ux system provides an easy to use

2solution for the inspection of cracks or inclusions within
the full volume, as well as on the surface of metal bars forthe automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering
industries.
The compact footprint allows the system to be integrated into
an inspection line, in a space and cost-effective manner. Andwith the fully automated reference bar manipulator, excellent
calibration repeatability can be achieved with minimaloperator intervention.

Inspection efficiency at all levels
Ease of operation

Meets industry standard

The fully refreshed software is inaccordance with the latest usability
standards. Simply follow the workflow
process (setup - calibrate - inspect –analyze) to accelerate your setups andmake them more consistent.

The instrument fully complies with ISO
18563 to meet the upcoming certification
requirements of your end customers andguarantees your investment is future proof.

Performance capability
The latest generation modular design
includes fast optical data transmission andensures the system‘s robustness that anindustrial environment demands.
The integrated diagnostic features andremote connectivity ease the day to day
use of the equipment.

Low cost of ownership
Krautkrämer ROWA™ Ux features asimplified test mechanics with Phased
Array probes mounted to just a solid
stainless-steel body.
Without any moving parts or complex
swivel mechanisms immersed in polluted
water, maintenance efforts are significantly
reduced to provide a maximum of uptime
at low operation expense.
Exchanging probes can be done by a single
operator, without the need of a crane orany special tools, so that the material flowof your plant is not affected.
