NON-Contact - NON-Invasive
NON-Destructive - NO Sample Preparation

SEAL-SCAN
acoustically inspects
SEALS with
Non-Contact Airborne
Ultrasound.
SEAL-SCAN Model
Pti-525 provides
off-line inspection and
quantitative evaluation
of SEALS made of a
variety of materials.
The exact location of
delaminations, invisible
flaws, product inclusion,
material and seal defects are detected and
quantified with absolute
repeatability.

US Patent 6,840,108, January 11, 2005

and Patents Pending

IMMEDIATE BENEFITS:

Process control tool

Identifiesc SEAL defects
SEAL quality level towards Six Sigma

Non-Contact Airborne Ultrasonic Technology:

Ultrasonic inspection has traditionally been possible only by actual contact with the product - with either a
liquid or dry coupling. The SEAL-SCAN, developed by PTI, is a non-contact, non-invasive and non-destructive
Ultrasonic Technology. No coupling medium is required. This AWARD WINNING technology has proven to be
a highly effective, reliable and cost reducing tool in the SEAL inspection of flexible packages for both on and offline applications.

PTI Inspection Services:

We offer complete SEAL analysis services on our equipment at our facility or your plant. This is of particular
interest for evaluating new packages, materials, new equipment start-up or production problems. Our analysis
will provide you with specific data on overall seal integrity, as well as the type and exact location of defects.
