How Ultrasound Works

Ultrasonic Imaging is an advanced, non-destructive examination technology that is sensitive to small voids, honeycombing, and other structurally significant defects in large concrete structures. aRoboticsCompany's (aRC) Ultrasonic Imaging system is designed for a diverse set of use cases, offering automated ultrasound scanning of structures and assets with unparalleled clarity.
