Digital flaw detection technology for hire
Ashtead Technology is demonstrating its commitment to the market by substantially increasing its fleet of ultrasonic flaw detectors.
The Olympus RVI equipment employs the very latest in optical and digital technologies, and finds application in work as diverse as aerospace quality control, bridge inspection and even the high speed filming of insects by the BBC.
In many applications, the equipment is either required for a specific period, or is only used infrequently, and in such circumstances, renting can represent a more attractive alternative to purchase.
Ashtead Technology's James Carlyle says: "As part of one of the world's largest rental companies, we are able to invest in a wide range of RVI technologies to meet every need".
"As a result, this sophisticated Olympus technology is available to a wider market".
Carlyle attributes Ashtead Technology's success to three issues: "We provide technical advice on what to rent and how to use it; the availability of our instrumentation is second to none; and all our equipment is always tested and ready for use".
