A family company in the world market

Passion for precision

Precision – that is the benchmark.

Right at the outset this claim has driven us in setting global standards for high-tech measurement and testing systems for industrial maintenance and quality assurance. With intelligent and precise measurement and testing systems, high standards continue to be achieved worldwide – presenting innovative solutions to customers in the fields of machinery alignment, condition moni-toring in machinery and non-destructive testing of materials.

Experience – that is trust.

Established in 1972 by Dieter Busch, this family concern now under the second generation stewardship of Dr Sebastian Busch, has established itself as the mar-ket leader within its field. The company has retained its medium-sized business roots and traditions. With its lean struc-tures, it remains flexible and efficient. PRÜFTECHNIK accepts the obligation of being a reliable and competent partner for our customers. A partner at hand when required.

Curiosity – that is the impulse.

The spirit of discovery among the com-pany’s employees, their drive for innova-tion and openness to new ideas haveonly one goal – to find exactly the right solution that will help the customer anywhere in the world. 20 operational marketing, service, development and production locations exporting to more than 70 countries and engaging more than 500 employees worldwide is more than sufficient proof.

The future has long since begun and PRÜFTECHNIK is not only prepared for it but also shaping it.

Everything for smooth running

Alignment Systems

Minor cause, major impact!When shafts are well-aligned – with their axes colinear – machines run smoothly. Misalignment is the underly-ing cause for around 50% of all machine failures. The ensuing downtime, produc-tion losses and repairs can generate staggering costs.

The answer to these problems is provid-ed by laser-based measurement systems.

ALIGNMENT CENTER PC-Software

Our laser-based, contact-free alignment systems measure to a precision of one thou-sandth of a millimeter. They calculate the correction val-ues needed to achieve good alignment and record the alignment condition.

Laser systems now make it possible to objectively deter-mine whether or not circular machine components – as they are used in turbines – are truly circular, and record the information for future use.

The straightness and flatness of surfaces, foundations, ma-chine beds, tables and flang-es can be measured down to 1/1000 of a millimeter.

Parallel rolls in paper ma-chines are critical for paper quality. A new, patented procedure makes it possible for the first time to quickly obtain precise information on the exact position of the rolls in a system.

Very small positional changes in machines can be recorded by a non-contacting method during operation. Machine operators use this informa-tion to initiate appropriate measures to compensate for shifts in position.

ALIGNMENT CENTER is the PC software common to all alignment systems. It can be used to clearly visualize mea-surement results in graphic displays, and to record and archive the data.

The low-vibration machine is the better machine

Condition Monitoring

Measuring systems for ev-ery requirement – special-ists for every challenge:Optimal production and smooth processes are only possible when machines run without vibration. The identification of problematic machine conditions and – more importantly – the elimina-tion of their causes is the business of the Condition Monitoring Division. We provide innovative analy-sis systems and specialists experienced in this field.

Machine protec-tion systems

Online continuous monitoring systems

Portable measuring de-vices are used for the rou-tine monitoring of machine conditions. When measure-ment values are elevated, the equipment delivers reliable information on the causes.

The Service & Diagnostic Center, founded in 2005, excels in offering know-how in the following sectors and disciplines:

To ensure productivity where online monitoring systems do not yet appear cost-effec-tive, machine protection sys-tems are indispensable.

Permanently installed mea-suring systems monitor ma-chines critical to production around the clock. Fault mes-sages are automatically sent to the operator by E-Mail or SMS.

Only detected faults can be prevented

Nondestructive Testing

40 years’ experience – a good basis for the future. At NDT we ensure that manufactur-ers of semi-finished products and their cus-tomers obtain products of the best possible quality. Our eddy current and flux leakage testing equipment of the EDDYCHEK® and NOVAFLUX® series detect flaws in semi-finished metal products, which are then marked and sorted out. Our systems are also employed in the optimization of production processes and the reduction of scrap.

Manufacture of formed parts

Tube manufacturers use NDT devices coupled with a variety of sensors for tube leakage testing. The testing method meets the require-ments of recognized interna-tional standards.

Wire drawing lines and re-coiling plants employ eddy current testing together with rotating systems, which ex-cel in the reliable detection of longitudinal defects and grooving.

Special sensors and testers developed specifically for this field enable the inspection of thick-walled tubing.

Producers of high quality steel bar rely on the latest NDT product, a magnetic flux leakage tester, for de-tecting very small cracks and imperfections on black and bright steel bar.

Water-cooled sensors are used in eddy current test-ing at temperatures of up to 1200 °C and at very high speeds to create flaw statis-tics and monitor the produc-tion process.

NDT testing equipment checks cold heading wire be-fore it enters a cold former, without interrupting the pro-duction process. After form-ing, the defective parts are automatically sorted out.

Our applications can be found in the following areas:
